26 "See, I am setting {before you} {today} a blessing and a curse:

27 the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God that I [am] commanding you {today},

28 and the curse, if you [do] not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but [rather] you turn from the way that I [am] commanding you {today} to go after other gods that you have not known.

29 "And it will happen [that] when Yahweh your God has brought you to {the land that you are going to}, to take possession of it, then you shall pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
