Deu 11:29 | MHM | STEP | vv. 29-30 : Moses says there will be a public announcement of the blessing and the curse on two mountains, Gerizim and Ebal ( v. 29, 30 ). This will happen soon after they enter Canaan, so they know the terms for living in the land. Moses describes the exact place, near the plain or oaks of Moreh, where Abraham first came when entering Canaan (Gen. 12:6,7 ). This connects God’s promise to Abraham with the Israelites’ new life in Canaan. This ceremony is also a sign that they will really enter the land, just as God told Moses in Exod. 3:12 : You shall serve God upon this mountain .

‏ Deuteronomy 11:29

vv. 29-30: Moses says there will be a public announcement of the blessing and the curse on two mountains, Gerizim and Ebal (v. 29, 30 ^a). This will happen soon after they enter Canaan, so they know the terms for living in the land. Moses describes the exact place, near the plain or oaks of Moreh, where Abraham first came when entering Canaan (Gen. 12:6,7 ^b). This connects God’s promise to Abraham with the Israelites’ new life in Canaan. This ceremony is also a sign that they will really enter the land, just as God told Moses in Exod. 3:12 ^c: You shall serve God upon this mountain.
