Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The Assembly at Shechem [[#Verse 01.]] Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today. [[#Verse 02.]] When you cross the Jordan River to the land the Lord your God is giving you, you must erect great stones and cover them with plaster. [[#Verse 03.]] Then you must inscribe on them all the words of this law when you cross over, so that you may enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, said to you. [[#Verse 04.]] So when you cross the Jordan you must erect on Mount Ebal these stones about which I am commanding you today, and you must cover them with plaster.  [[#Verse 05.]] Then you must build an altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones—do not use an iron tool on them.  [[#Verse 06.]] You must build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.  [[#Verse 07.]] Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the Lord your God.  [[#Verse 08.]] You must inscribe on the stones all the words of this law, making them clear.” [[#Verse 09.]] Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be quiet and pay attention, Israel. Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.  [[#Verse 10.]] You must obey him and keep his commandments and statutes that I am giving you today.”  [[#Verse 11.]] Moreover, Moses commanded the people that day:  [[#Verse 12.]] “The following tribes must stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim when you cross the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.  [[#Verse 13.]] And these other tribes must stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. ### The Covenant Curses [[#Verse 14.]] “The Levites will call out to every Israelite with a loud voice:  [[#Verse 15.]] ‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or metal image—something abhorrent to the Lord, the work of the craftsman—and sets it up in a secret place.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’ [[#Verse 16.]] ‘Cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 17.]] ‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s boundary marker.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’ [[#Verse 18.]] ‘Cursed is the one who misleads a blind person on the road.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 19.]] ‘Cursed is the one who perverts justice for the resident foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 20.]] ‘Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his father’s former wife, for he dishonors his father.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 21.]] ‘Cursed is the one who commits bestiality.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 22.]] ‘Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his sister, the daughter of either his father or mother.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 23.]] ‘Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his mother-in-law.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 24.]] ‘Cursed is the one who kills his neighbor in private.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 25.]] ‘Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’  [[#Verse 26.]] ‘Cursed is the one who refuses to keep the words of this law.’ Then all the people will say, ‘Amen!’ ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
