Deutéronome 27:13 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 27:13

And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal curse
Which was dry and rocky, barren and fruitful, and like the earth, that bears briers and thorns, is rejected and nigh unto cursing, and so a proper place to curse, and a fit emblem of those to be cursed; see ( Hebrews 6:8 ) ;

Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali;
four of these appointed for cursing were the children of the handmaids, Gad, Asher, Dan, and Naphtali; and since two were wanting, as Aben Ezra observes, and the sons of Leah were many, the oldest and the youngest were taken; Reuben, who had defiled his father's bed, and exposed himself to the curse of the law, and Zebulun, the last and youngest of Leah's sons; see ( Galatians 3:10 ) ( Galatians 4:24 Galatians 4:30 ) .

Deutéronome 27:13 In-Context

11 Le même jour, Moïse donna cet ordre au peuple:

12 Lorsque vous aurez passé le Jourdain, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar, Joseph et Benjamin, se tiendront sur le mont Garizim, pour bénir le peuple;

13 et Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali, se tiendront sur le mont Ebal, pour prononcer la malédiction.

14 Et les Lévites prendront la parole, et diront d'une voix haute à tout Israël:

15 Maudit soit l'homme qui fait une image taillée ou une image en fonte, abomination de l'Eternel, oeuvre des mains d'un artisan, et qui la place dans un lieu secret! Et tout le peuple répondra, et dira: Amen!
