Deuteronomy 27:14

Deuteronomy 27:14 -

The Levites—standing probably in some convenient spot midway between the two mountains (cf. Joshua 8:33 )—were to pronounce with a loud voice the blessing and the curse, so that all might hear; and the people were to give their assent, and take to themselves, as it were, the blessing or the curse as uttered, by a solemn Amen . By the Levites here are intended, not the sons of Levi generally, but that portion of them which belonged to the priesthood, and bare the ark of the covenant (cf. Joshua 8:33 ).
