“And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.”
And when they told Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you — Jotham, the sole survivor, climbs Mount Gerizim (blessing mountain) and cries out. His invocation frames his speech as a covenant appeal. His speech will be a parable rather than direct condemnation.
