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 Ce jour-là, Moïse fit aussi au peuple ce commandement et dit:

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

13 Et que Ruben, Gad, Asser, Zabulon, Dan, Nephthali, se tiennent sur le mont Ébal, pour maudire.

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

15 Maudit soit l'homme qui fera une image taillée ou de fonte, abomination de l'Éternel, ouvrage des mains d'un ouvrier, et qui la mettra dans un lieu secret! Et tout le peuple répondra, et dira: Amen!
