Deuteronomy 11:26-29
Anticipation of a Blessing and Cursing Ceremony
11:26 Take note – I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
11:27 the blessing if you take to heart the commandments of the Lord your God that I am giving you today,
11:28 and the curse if you pay no attention to his commandments and turn from the way I am setting before you today to pursue other gods you have not known.
11:29 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are to possess, you must pronounce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Joshua 8:33-34
8:33 All the people,
rulers,
leaders, and judges were standing on either side of the ark, in front of the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the
Lord. Both resident foreigners and native Israelites were there.
Half the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the
Lord’s servant had previously instructed to them to do for the formal blessing ceremony.
8:34 Then
Joshua read aloud all the words of the law, including the blessings and the curses, just as they are written in the law scroll.
Jude 1:7
1:7 So also
Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns,
since they indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire
in a way similar to
these angels,
are now displayed as an example by suffering the punishment of eternal fire.
