26. “Today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse —
27. a blessing, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today;
28. but a curse, if you disobey these commands and turn away to worship other gods that you have never worshipped before.
29. When the Lord brings you into the land that you are going to occupy, you are to proclaim the blessing from Mount Gerizim and the curse from Mount Ebal.
30. (These two mountains are west of the River Jordan in the territory of the Canaanites who live in the Jordan Valley. They are towards the west, not far from the sacred trees of Moreh near the town of Gilgal.)
31. You are about to cross the River Jordan and occupy the land that the Lord your God is giving you. When you take it and settle there,
32. be sure to obey all the laws that I am giving you today.
