Deuteronômio 11:27-32

27 A bênção, se obedecerdes aos mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus, que eu hoje vos ordeno;

28 porém a maldição, se não obedecerdes aos mandamentos do Senhor vosso Deus, mas vos desviardes do caminho que eu hoje vos ordeno, para seguirdes outros deuses que nunca conhecestes.

29 Ora, quando o Senhor teu Deus te introduzir na terra a que vais para possuí-la, pronunciarás a bênção sobre o monte Gerizim, e a maldição sobre o monte Ebal.

30 Porventura não estão eles além do Jordão, atrás do caminho do pôr do sol, na terra dos cananeus, que habitam na Arabá defronte de Gilgal, junto aos carvalhos de Moré?

31 Porque estais a passar o Jordão para entrardes a possuir a terra que o Senhor vosso Deus vos dá; e a possuireis, e nela habitareis.

32 Tende, pois, cuidado em observar todos os estatutos e os preceitos que eu hoje vos proponho.

Deuteronômio 11:27-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 11

In this chapter, the exhortation to love the Lord, and keep his commands, is repeated and urged again and again from various considerations; as not only from the chastisement of Pharaoh and the wicked Egyptians, but of such Israelites who offended the Lord, and transgressed his law, De 12:1-7, from the goodness and excellency of the land they were going to inherit, De 11:8-11, from the blessing of rain that would come upon it, and be productive of all good things for man and beast, in case of obedience, and a restraint of it in case of disobedience, De 11:12-17, from the continuance of them and their offspring in the land, should they be careful to observe the commands themselves, and teach them their children, De 11:18-21, and from the extensiveness of their conquests and dominions, De 11:22-25 and from the different issue and effects of their conduct and behaviour, a blessing upon them if obedient, but a curse if disobedient, De 11:26-28 and the chapter is concluded with an exhortation to pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal; the situation of which places is described when they should come into the land of Canaan, of which they are assured, De 11:29-32.
