In the Book of Joshua, after the Battle of Ai, Joshua built an altar of unhewn stones there, the Israelites then made peace offerings on it, the Law of Moses was written onto the stones, and the Israelites split into two groups and pronounced blessings and curses as instructed there.
In February 2021 a portion of the site was destroyed by the Palestinian Authority and the stones were ground up and used to pave the road.
