¹⁴ “And ^(A)the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel:

¹¹ Yes, ^(A)all Israel has transgressed Your law, and has departed so as not to obey Your voice; therefore the curse and the oath written in the ^(B)Law of Moses the servant of God have been poured out on us, because we have sinned against Him.

⁷ Also Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, ^(A)helped the people to understand the Law; and the people ^(B)stood in their place. ⁸ So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.

³³ Then all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, ^(A)who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^(B)the stranger as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, ^(C)as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
