Deuteronomy chapter 27 marks a significant moment as Moses instructs the Israelites to establish a physical reminder of their covenant with God. Upon entering the Promised Land, they are to set up large stones on Mount Ebal, which will be coated with plaster and inscribed with the Law. Additionally, Moses commands the people to proclaim blessings from Mount Gerizim for those who obey God's commandments and curses from Mount Ebal for those who disobey. This public declaration serves to reinforce the seriousness of their covenant relationship and the consequences of their actions. The chapter emphasizes the importance of communal accountability and the need to remember God's laws as they settle in the land. The themes of obedience, remembrance, and the blessings and curses associated with the covenant resonate throughout this chapter.
