²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse: ²⁷ The blessing if ye hear the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day, ²⁸ and the curse if ye will not hear the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. ²⁹ And it shall come to pass when the LORD thy God has brought thee in unto the land where thou goest to inherit it that thou shalt put the blessing upon Mount Gerizim and the curse upon Mount Ebal, ³⁰ which are on the other side of the Jordan, by the way of the west, in the land of the Canaanite, who dwells in the plain over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh. ³¹ For ye shall pass the Jordan to go in to inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you, and ye shall possess it and dwell therein. ³² Keep yourselves, therefore, to do all the statutes and rights which I set before you this day.
