Deuteronomy 27:24-26 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:11-26

When the law was written, to be seen and read by all men, the sanctions of it were to be published, which, to complete the solemnity of their covenanting with God, they were deliberately to declare their approbation of. This they were before directed to do (Deut. 11:29, 30), and therefore the appointment here begins somewhat abruptly, Deut. 27:12. There were, it seems, in Canaan, that part of it which afterwards fell to the lot of Ephraim (Joshua's tribe), two mountains that lay near together,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:24

Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly ,.... And kills him, and the murder is not known; the curse of God follows such, and overtakes them sooner or later. Some interpret this of smiting with the tongue, of secret backbiting and slander; so the Targum of Jonathan,"that smiteth with the third tongue;'or false accusation: and all the people shall say Amen ; as disapproving of and condemning such a practice, even slander, and especially murder. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:25

Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person ,.... As an assassin, to murder him privately; or as a judge, that takes a bribe to condemn to death an innocent person: so Aben Ezra observes, that according to the sense of some a judge is meant; but, says he, in my opinion a false witness; one that swears a man's life away for the sake of a reward given him: and all the people shall say Amen ; at so detestable a crime. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:26

Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them ,.... That is, who does not perfectly perform all that the law requires, and continues to do so; for the law requires obedience, and that perfect and constant, and in failure thereof curses, in proof of which the apostle produces this passage; see Gill on Galatians 3:10 , for the reconciliation of these Scriptures, as to what seeming difference there is between them: and all the people shall say, Amen ; See Gill... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 27:26

That confirmeth not all the words of this law - The word כל col , All, is not found in any printed copy of the Hebrew text; but the Samaritan preserves it, and so do six MSS. in the collections of Kennicott and De Rossi, besides several copies of the Chaldee Targum. The Septuagint also, and St. Paul in his quotation of this place, Galatians 3:10 . St. Jerome says that the Jews suppressed the word, that it might not appear that they were bound to fulfill All the precepts in the law of... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 27:26

Verse 26 26.Cursed is he that confirmeth not. Although it was God’s purpose to summon the consciences of all men before Him, and, in order that they might not only fear human judgments, He designedly threatened them with the punishment of secret sins, yet the conclusion, which is now added, extends the same judgment to all iniquities of whatever kind. Nay, He briefly declares, that whosoever shall not perform what the Law requires, are accursed. From whence Paul rightly infers, that “as many as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:11-26

A grand "Amen!" It is more than possible that, with the strong disposition there is nowadays to look on Judaism as obsolete, the chapter before us may be very frequently passed over as if full of curses that no longer have any effect; especially as Paul, in Galatians 3:1-29 ; says, " Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the Law." But we are apt, perhaps, in dealing with the doctrinal aspect of these curses of the Law , in reference to the Atonement, to lose sight of their... read more

Ebal and Gerizim. This ceremony turns on the idea of the Law as primarily entailing a curse. Blessings and curses were both to be recited ( Deuteronomy 27:12 , Deuteronomy 27:13 ). But the curse seems to have been first pronounced, and it only is given in the record. It has the lead in the transaction. The explanation is obvious. Deuteronomy 27:26 shows that, in strictness, none can escape the curse ( Psalms 130:3 ; Galatians 3:10 ). A blessing is pronounced from Gerizim, but it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:11-26

The Decalogue nationally reciprocated. It is obvious that the same God who prescribed its Jewish Law is the Creator also of the human conscience; for, just as the sword fits its scabbard, or as cog corresponds with cog in the mechanical wheel, so accord Mosaic Law and human conscience. They are natural counterparts. I. MEN ARE RULED BY A SYSTEM OF REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS . Notwithstanding the development of the human mind, and the progress of civilization since Moses'... read more

Responses. After the writing of the Law, and the sacrifices, there was to be a great congregation, and half of the people were to assemble on Mount Gerizim to bless, viz. Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin; while the other half were to assemble on Mount Ebal to curse, viz. Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. Now, we know from Numbers that the order of march was this: Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Gershon and Merari with the tabernacle, Reuben, Simeon,... read more
