Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nDeu 27:1, The people are commanded to write the law upon stones, Deu 27:5, and to build an altar of whole stones; Deu 27:11, The tribes to be divided on Gerizim and Ebal; Deu 27:14, The curses to be pronounced on mount Ebal.\nKeep all: Deu 4:1-3, Deu 11:32, Deu 26:16; Luk 11:28; Joh 15:14; Th1 4:1, Th1 4:2; Jam 2:10\non the day: Deu 6:1, Deu 9:1, Deu 11:31; Jos 1:11, Jos 4:1, 5-24\ngreat stones: Eze 11:19, Eze 36:26\nand plaster: Houbigant and others are of opinion that the original words, wesadta othom beseed, should be rendered \"thou shalt cement them with cement,\" because this was intended to be a durable monument. Some suppose that the writing was to be in relievo, and that the spaces were to be filled up by the mortar or cement; as is frequently the case with eastern inscriptions.\nthou shalt: Jos 8:32; Jer 31:31-33; Co2 3:2, Co2 3:3; Heb 8:6-10, Heb 10:16\nthis law: This law probably means only the blessings and curses mentioned in this and the following chapter; which indeed contain an epitome of the whole law.\na land: Deu 6:8, Deu 26:9; Lev 20:24; Num 13:27, Num 14:8; Jos 5:6; Jer 11:5, Jer 32:22\nin mount Ebal: The Samaritan text has in mount Gerizim; which has given rise to a violent controversy. Dr. Kennicott suppose that the Jews corrupted this passage out of their enmity to the Samaritans, who had their temple on mount Gerizim; while Dr. Parry and H. Verschuir defend the present reading. to the writings of these authors the reader is referred. Deu 11:29, Deu 11:30; Jos 8:30-33\nAnd there: Exo 24:4; Jos 8:30, Jos 8:31; Kg1 18:31, Kg1 18:32\nthou shalt not: Exo 20:25\nburnt offerings: Lev. 1:1-17; Eph 5:2\npeace offerings: Lev. 3:1-17, Lev 7:11-17; Act 10:36; Rom 5:1, Rom 5:10; Eph 2:16, Eph 2:17, Eph 2:16, Eph 2:17; Col 1:20; Heb 13:20, Heb 13:21\nrejoice: Deu 12:7, Deu 12:12, Deu 16:11, Deu 16:14, Deu 26:10, Deu 26:11; Ch2 30:23-27; Neh 8:10; Psa 100:1, Psa 100:2; Isa 12:3, Isa 61:3, Isa 61:10; Hab 3:18; Phi 3:3, Phi 4:4\nthou shalt: Deu 27:3\nvery plainly: Hab 2:2; Joh 16:25; Co2 3:12\nthis day: Deu 26:16-18; Rom 6:17, Rom 6:18, Rom 6:22; Co1 6:9-11; Eph 5:8, Eph 5:9; Pe1 2:10, Pe1 2:11\nDeu 10:12, Deu 10:13, Deu 11:1, Deu 11:7, Deu 11:8; Lev 19:2; Mic 4:5, Mic 6:8; Mat 5:48; Eph 4:17-24; Pe1 1:14-16, Pe1 4:1-3\nupon mount Gerizim: Mount Gerizim and mount Ebal being only separated by a narrow valley, not above a furlong broad, what was spoken with a loud voice on the one might be heard on the other (see note on Jdg 9:7). It is probable, however, that the particle \u00e2l should be rendered by, as it frequently signifies; for when this direction was reduced to practice (Jos 8:33), it seems that the people did not stand on the mountains, but over against them in the plain. But the Talmud says, that six tribes went up on each, while the priest and Levites and the ark remained beneath. Deu 11:26-29; Jos 8:33, Jos 8:34; Jdg 9:7\nSimeon: Gen 29:33-35, Gen 30:18, Gen 30:24, Gen 35:18\nmount Ebal: Deu 27:4, Deu 11:29; Jos 8:33\nto curse: Heb. for a cursing\nReuben: Gen 29:32, Gen 30:6-13, Gen 30:20, Gen 49:3, Gen 49:4\nDeu 33:9, Deu 33:10; Jos 8:33; Neh 8:7, Neh 8:8; Dan 9:11; Mal 2:7-9\nCursed be: Deu 28:16-19; Gen 9:25; Sa1 26:19; Jer 11:3\nmaketh: Deu 4:16-23, Deu 5:8; Exo 20:4, Exo 20:23, Exo 32:1-4, Exo 34:17; Lev 19:4, Lev 26:1; Isa 44:9, Isa 44:10, Isa 44:17; Hos 13:2, Hos 13:3\nan abomination: Deu 29:17; Kg1 11:5-7; Kg2 23:13; Ch2 33:2; Isa 44:19; Eze 7:20; Dan 11:31; Mat 24:15; Rev 17:4, Rev 17:5\nand putteth: Gen 31:19, Gen 31:34; Kg2 17:19; Psa 44:20, Psa 44:21; Jer 23:24; Eze 8:7-12, Eze 14:4\nAnd all: Num 5:22; Jer 11:5, Jer 28:6; Mat 6:13; Co1 14:16\nAmen: To each of the curses the people were to say Amen, as well as to the blessings; to denote a profession of their faith in the truth of them, that they were the real declarations of the wrath of God; and an acknowledgment of the equity of these curses. It was such an imprecation upon themselves, as strongly obliged them to have nothing to do with those evil practices on which the curse is entailed. We read of those who entered a curse to walk in God's law. Neh 10:29. All the people, by saying this Amen, became bound one for another, that they would observe God's laws, by which every man was obliged, as far as he could, to prevent his neighbour from breaking these laws, and to reprove those that had offended, lest they should bear sin and the curse for them.\nDeu 21:18-21; Exo 20:12, Exo 21:17; Lev 19:3; Pro 30:11-17; Eze 22:7; Mat 15:4-6\nDeu 19:14; Pro 22:28, Pro 23:10, Pro 23:11\nLev 19:14; Job 29:15; Pro 28:10; Isa 56:10; Mat 15:14; Rev 2:14\nDeu 10:18, Deu 24:17; Exo 22:21-24, Exo 23:2, Exo 23:8, Exo 23:9; Psa 82:2-4; Pro 17:23, Pro 31:5; Mic 3:9; Mal 3:5\nDeu 22:30; Gen 35:22, Gen 49:4; Lev 18:8, Lev 20:11; Sa2 16:22; Ch1 5:1; Eze 22:10; Amo 2:7; Co1 5:1\nExo 22:19; Lev 18:23, Lev 20:15\nLev 18:9, Lev 20:17; Sa2 13:1, Sa2 13:8-14; Eze 22:11\nDeu 19:11, Deu 19:12; Exo 20:13, Exo 21:12-14; Lev 24:17; Num 35:31; Sa2 3:27, Sa2 11:15-17; Sa2 12:9-12, Sa2 13:28, Sa2 20:9, Sa2 20:10\nDeu 10:17, Deu 16:19; Exo 23:7, Exo 23:8; Psa 15:5; Prov. 1:11-29; Eze 22:12, Eze 22:13; Mic 3:10, Mic 3:11, Mic 7:2, Mic 7:3; Mat 26:15, Mat 27:3, Mat 27:4; Act 1:18\nCursed: Deu 27:15, 28:15-68; Psa 119:21; Mat 25:41; Co1 16:22\nconfirmeth: Jer 11:3-5; Eze 18:24; Rom 3:19, Rom 3:20, Rom 10:5; Gal 3:10","title":"Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge: Deuteronomy: Deuteronomy Chapter 27","type":"page"}
