No, the Samaritans are a people. Samaritans believe that God sanctified Mount Gerizim (outside modern Nablus) as the holy site for sacrifices. Jews say the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. This division may be a relic of the division between Judah and Israel before the Babylonian Exile, with the Samaritans being a remnant of the population of the northern kingdom of Israel that managed to hang onto their original homes through the invasions that destroyed that kingdom. The Samaritan Torah has been passed down through the past 2500 years through an independent scribal tradition from the Jewish Torah. The two Torahs differ in about 6000 p rlaces, mostly small variations in spelling or grammar, but a few significant places. The Samaritans entirely reject the Jewish texts added to The Bible after the Torah.
