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.

Deuteronomy 27:14 In-Context

12 Once you have crossed over the Jordan River, the following tribes will stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And these are the tribes that will stand on Mount Ebal for the cursing: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 The Levites will address every individual Israelite with a loud voice:

15 "Cursed is anyone who makes an idol or an image—things detestable to the LORD, made by artisans—and sets it up secretly." All the people will reply: "We agree!"

16 "Cursed is anyone who belittles their father or mother." All the people will reply: "We agree!"
