Footnote

c Some Jewish historians claim that this grandson of Eliashib was named Manasseh and that, with his father-in-law, Sanballat, he built the temple on Mount Gerizim, which became the center of Samaritan worship and at which he officiated as priest during his lifetime. Gerizim is the mountain referred to by Jesus at John 4:21.​—The Second Temple in Jerusalem, 1908, W. Shaw Caldecott, pages 252-5; see The Watchtower, July 15, 1960, pages 425-6.
