Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God. 10 Obey the Lord your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today.”
11 On the same day Moses commanded the people:
12 When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin. 13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
14 The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:
15 “Cursed is anyone who makes an idol—a thing detestable to the Lord, the work of skilled hands—and sets it up in secret.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
16 “Cursed is anyone who dishonors their father or mother.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
17 “Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbor’s boundary stone.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
18 “Cursed is anyone who leads the blind astray on the road.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
19 “Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
20 “Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his father’s wife, for he dishonors his father’s bed.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
21 “Cursed is anyone who has sexual relations with any animal.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
22 “Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
23 “Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his mother-in-law.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
24 “Cursed is anyone who kills their neighbor secretly.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
25 “Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
26 “Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.”
Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

    摩西對百姓說的話,對今日基督徒仍然是必須遵守的,正如這裡所宣告的:「以色列啊,要默默靜聽。你今日成為耶和華─你上帝的百姓了。所以要聽從耶和華─你上帝的話,遵行他的誡命律例,就是我今日所吩咐你的。」

    摩西在此說明了我們為何要遵行上帝的誡命律例,因為我們成為成為耶和華─我們上帝的百姓了。是因為上帝先施恩拯救我們,正如今天我們是靠上帝的恩典成為上帝的兒女,所以我們要遵行上帝的誡命律例,這是我們的本分!

    而我們是因為愛上帝,不願意離開上帝,所以我們要遠離上帝所不喜悅的事,就像這裡提到的12項咒詛的事情,我們為了愛上帝、討上帝喜悅,要堅決遠離惡行!正如我們信主悔改,就是遠離罪惡,靠上帝在基督裡的恩典來歸向上帝!
