Deuteronomy 11:28

ObedienceTemptation

26 See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—

27 a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,

but a curse if you disobey the commandments of the LORD your God and turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

29 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 Are not these mountains across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh?
