Read Deuteronomy 27 in context

Scripture Focus

11And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

12These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:

13And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

15Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.

16Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

17Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.

18Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.

19Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.

20Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.

21Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.

22Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

23Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.

24Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.

25Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

26Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Deuteronomy 27:11-26

Biblical Context

Moses sets up a rite where Mount Gerizim blesses and Mount Ebal curses, with the Levites calling out specific sinful acts and the people answering Amen as a communal acknowledgment.

Neville's Inner Vision

Two theatres stand before you in this scripture: Gerizim for blessing and Ebal for curse. The outer ritual is a mirror of your inner state; you are the I AM, and the law is always in you. When you acknowledge the truth of unity, the tribes on Gerizim rise within as confidence, health, and right action. When you feed separation—secret images, fear, or harm to another—you have stepped into Ebal, where the mind condemns and the heart becomes blind. The levitical curses are not punishments handed to you from without, but pointers to misaligned habits of imagination. To revise is to change the inner costume: assume you are already blessed, that all acts flow from one undivided source, and feel the truth in your chest as if it were already done. Amen then becomes your implicit agreement, the inner yes that seals the covenant. So the task is not to seek blessing elsewhere but to return to the I AM and dwell there until your outward world reflects that inner covenant with life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, affirm 'I am the I AM; this moment is the covenant realized,' and feel the truth in your chest as a living light; revise fear or lack by resting in the blessed state.
