DEUTERONOMY—NOTE ON Deuteronomy 27:12 Mount Gerizim is south of Shechem. Shechem is on the shoulder of the two mountains, Gerizim and Ebal (see Deuteronomy 11:29 and note on 27:4–5). These verses describe a ceremony in which Israel hears blessings and curses concerning the law. In this chapter, however, there are only curses read by the Levites. See Joshua 8:30 for the carrying out of these instructions (compare Joshua 24:1).
