Deuteronomy 27:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 27:14

And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of
Israel
Rather, "answer ^F5 and say"; not the whole tribe of Levi, for that stood on Mount Gerizim to bless, ( Deuteronomy 27:12 ) ; but the priests of that tribe who were placed in the valley, between the two mountains, and pronounced both the blessings and the curses in the hearing of all the tribes of Israel, to which they were to answer Amen; and that they might plainly hear, they expressed their words

with a loud voice,
clearly and distinctly, as follow.

12 "When you have crossed the Jordan, these [tribes] will stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And these [tribes] will stand on Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 The Levites will proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:

15 'Cursed is the person who makes a carved idol or cast image, which is detestable to the Lord, the work of a craftsman, and sets [it] up in secret.' And all the people will reply, 'Amen!'

16 'Cursed is the one who dishonors his father or mother.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!'
