The curses to be pronounced on mount Ebal On that day This phrase indicates a specific moment in time, highlighting the importance of the events that are about to unfold. It refers to the time when the Israelites were preparing to enter the Promised Land. This moment is significant as it marks a transition from the wilderness wanderings to the establishment of a nation under God's law. The phrase underscores the immediacy and urgency of the instructions that follow. Moses commanded the people: Persons / Places / Events 1. MosesThe leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to deliver His people from Egypt and guide them through the wilderness. In this context, Moses is giving instructions to the Israelites as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. 2. The Israelites The chosen people of God, descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They are the recipients of the Law and the ones being addressed by Moses in this passage. 3. Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim These are the two mountains mentioned later in Deuteronomy 27, where the Israelites are to pronounce blessings and curses. They are significant locations for the covenant renewal ceremony. 4. The Promised Land The land of Canaan, which God promised to Abraham and his descendants. The Israelites are on the verge of entering this land as they receive these instructions. 5. Covenant Renewal Ceremony The event where the Israelites reaffirm their commitment to God's covenant, involving the pronouncement of blessings and curses. Teaching Points Obedience to God's CommandsMoses' instructions highlight the importance of obedience to God's laws as a condition for receiving His blessings. As believers, we are called to live in obedience to God's Word. Covenant Relationship The passage underscores the covenant relationship between God and His people. We are reminded of our own covenant relationship with God through Jesus Christ and the importance of renewing our commitment to Him. Community Accountability The public nature of the covenant renewal ceremony emphasizes the role of community in holding one another accountable to God's standards. In our faith communities, we should encourage and support each other in living out our faith. The Role of Leadership Moses' leadership in guiding the Israelites serves as a model for spiritual leadership today. Leaders are called to faithfully communicate God's Word and guide others in following His commands. The Consequences of Disobedience The blessings and curses associated with the covenant remind us of the serious consequences of disobedience. We are encouraged to choose obedience and experience the fullness of God's blessings.Verses 11-14. - Having set up the Law and renewed the covenant in Canaan, Israel was to proclaim upon the land the blessing and the curse of the Law, as already commanded (see Deuteronomy 11:29). For this purpose six tribes were to station themselves on Mount Gerizim, and six on Mount Ebal, the former to pronounce the blessing, the latter the curse. (On the situation of these two mountains, see at ch. Deuteronomy 11:29.) The six tribes by whom the blessing was to be pronounced were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin, all descended from the two wives of Jacob - Leah and Rachel. The tribes by whom the curse was to be uttered were those descended from Zilpah, Leah's maid, viz. Gad and Asher; those descended from Bilhah, Rachel's maid, viz. Dan and Naphtali; with Zebulun and Reuben, both descended from Leah. As, in order to obtain a division of the tribes into two equal portions, two of the sons of Leah must be assigned to the second half, Zebulun and Reuben were chosen, probably because the former was the youngest of Leah's sons, and the latter had by his sin forfeited his birthright (Genesis 49:4).
