Contextual Overview

26 See! I am setting before you to-day, - a blessing, and a curse: 27 the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day; 28 and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, - to go after other gods which ye know not. 29 And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal. 30 Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher's Terebinths? 31 For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, - so shall ye possess it and dwell therein. 32 Therefore shall ye observe to do all the statutes and the regulations, - which I am setting before you to-day.

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God,.... That is, a blessing should come upon them, even all temporal blessings they stood in need of; they should be blessed in body and estate, in their families, and in their flocks, in town and country; see Deuteronomy 28:1,

which I command you this day; afresh repeated to them, and enjoined them the observation of it in the name of the Lord.
