The curses to be pronounced on mount Ebal Cursed is he The Hebrew word for "cursed" is "אָרוּר" (arur), which signifies being under a divine curse or ban. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a curse was a powerful pronouncement that invoked divine judgment upon someone. This phrase underscores the seriousness of disobedience to God's law. It serves as a solemn warning that failing to adhere to God's commandments results in spiritual and communal consequences. The use of "cursed" here reflects the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were integral to the covenant stipulations. who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out And let all the people say, Amen!

The curse pronounced in Deuteronomy 27:26 highlights the seriousness of failing to uphold God's commands. The Role of Community Affirmation The communal "Amen" signifies agreement and collective responsibility. It reminds us of the importance of community in upholding God's standards. The Need for a Savior Recognizing our inability to perfectly keep the law points us to the necessity of Jesus Christ, who fulfilled the law on our behalf. The Call to Obedience While we are saved by grace, the call to uphold God's law remains. Our obedience is a response to God's grace, not a means to earn it. The Importance of Scripture Upholding the words of the law requires knowing them. This underscores the importance of regular Bible study and meditation on God's Word.(26) Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them.--"Here he sums up the whole Law, all of it, and they took it upon them with a curse and an oath" (Rashi). From this verse St. Paul also reasons that "as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse." For no man can do all of them. And therefore it is impossible to secure the blessing of Gerizim except through Him who bare the curse of Ebal. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us, as it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." In all these curses the verb is wanting. "Cursed is he," would be a more correct translation in modern English. These curses are not imprecations so much as declarations of fact.
