Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 27:1
THE THIRD ADDRESS OF MOSES (DEUT. 27-30)That this chapter is properly placed, that it is indeed from Moses, as is specifically claimed three different times in the chapter, and that it is a logical and necessary continuation of what has preceded - all of this is now considered a certainty by orthodox Christian scholars. It has been only a few short years since the critics were declaiming that: "This chapter, in the third person, is an interruption, a later addition, etc."[1] "It is clearly not... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 27:2
Ver. 2. On the day when ye shall pass over Jordan— Day here, as well as in the former verse, signifies time. See Joshua 8:30. It is not said how many great stones they were to set up; neither can we determine their number, unless we knew exactly how much of the law was to be written, whether the whole book of Deuteronomy, or only the ten commandments, or the curses and the blessings. They are ordered to plaister over these stones with plaister. This plaister has been generally understood, as... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 27:3
Ver. 3. All the words of this law— But what law? it may be asked. They must have been immense stones to have contained the whole book of Deuteronomy, much more the whole Pentateuch: either therefore the ten commandments, or the blessings and curses, must be meant. 1. Mr. Locke says, all the words, &c. means the decalogue; and Dr. Kennicott also is for the ten commandments, that divine system of the moral law, which, he says, may be well called the law, by way of eminence. In this sense the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 27:2
2. it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan—"Day" is often put for "time"; and it was not till some days after the passage that the following instructions were acted upon. thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister—These stones were to be taken in their natural state, unhewn, and unpolished—the occasion on which they were used not admitting of long or elaborate preparation; and they were to be daubed over with paint or whitewash, to render them more... read more

3. thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law—It might be, as some think, the Decalogue; but a greater probability is that it was "the blessings and curses," which comprised in fact an epitome of the law (Joshua 8:34). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 27:1
V. PREPARATIONS FOR RENEWING THE COVENANT 27:1-29:1Moses now gave the new generation its instructions concerning fresh commitment to the covenant when Israel would enter the land."The ratification of the new covenant which Moses was making with the second generation was to unfold in two stages. That was customary procedure in securing the throne succession to the appointed royal heir. When death was imminent, the suzerain required his vassals to pledge obedience to his son; then, soon after the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:1-26
27:1-30:20 CONDITIONS OF THE COVENANTThe listing of blessings and curses at the end of the covenant document is again in keeping with the form of ancient Near Eastern treaties. God in his sovereign grace had chosen Israel as his people and preserved them. In gratitude the people were to be obedient to God’s commands, and in doing so they would enjoy fellowship with him and blessing in their national life. Disobedience, on the other hand, would bring his judgment upon them, so that they might... read more
