Usage: The term "Ebal" is used in the context of a mountain in the land of Canaan and as the name of a descendant of Esau.

Context: Ebal as a Mountain: Mount Ebal is one of the two mountains in the central region of the land of Canaan, opposite Mount Gerizim. It is located near the city of Shechem. In the biblical narrative, Mount Ebal is significant for the covenant renewal ceremony conducted by Joshua. According to Deuteronomy 27:4 and Joshua 8:30-35, an altar was built on Mount Ebal, and the Israelites were instructed to pronounce curses from this mountain as part of the covenant ceremony. The mountain symbolizes the consequences of disobedience to God's commandments.
Ebal as a Person: Ebal is also the name of a descendant of Esau, mentioned in the genealogies of Edom. In Genesis 36:23 and 1 Chronicles 1:40, Ebal is listed as one of the sons of Shobal, a Horite chief in the land of Seir. This Ebal is part of the broader narrative of the descendants of Esau, who became the Edomites.
