Deuteronomy 27

Deuteronomy 27:12-26

Upon Mount] The Tribe of Levi was to stand on Mount Gerizim, in the Tribe of Ephraim by Sichem, with five other Tribes, whereof Joseph is one: And the six other Tribes to stand on Mount Ebal. And so the Priests called Levites, Deut. XXVII. 14. may seeme to stand with the Ark in the narrow valley between both: And there turning to Mount Ebal, to pronounce the Curses, whereunto all the people and Tribes on Mount Ebal were to say Amen. The other part concerning the Blessings is not expressed; but in all points, and circumstances easily to be gathered and understood, Deut. XI. 26,—30. and XXVII. 12,—26 This was done in the first year of their coming over Jordan Josh. VIII. 32,—35. when, and where were read likewise all the words of the Law of Moses, before all the Congregation of Israel.
