Notes

Deuteronomy 27:12–26

Mount Gerizim is just west of Mount Ebal. Shechem is in the valley between them.
to bless: God positioned the tribes or their representatives carefully. This was so that while the Levites read the covenant from the valley below, the other tribes would respond by shouting "Amen!" This is a Hebrew term that means "May it be so." They said this to show their agreement with the terms of the covenant.
