A Blessing and a Curse

26 (A)See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the (B)blessing, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you today; 28 and the (C)curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, by walking after other gods which you have not known.

29 “And it will be, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, (D)that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. 30 Are they not across the Jordan, west of the way toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite (E)Gilgal, beside (F)the [a]oaks of Moreh? 31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Yahweh your God is giving you, and (G)you shall possess it and live in it, 32 and you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you today.
