Moses pronounces great blessings of prosperity over Israel if they obey God, and horrible curses of violent suffering and destruction if they do not. PEOPLE: Moses – יהוה YHVH God – Israelites. PLACES: The Israelites are camped east of the Jordan River in Moab (Deuteronomy 1)
A commentary in the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges argues that "the face of Gerizim, the mount of blessing, is the more fertile; the opposite face of Ebal, the mount of curse, much the more bare", [13] but the Pulpit Commentary states that both Gerizim and Ebal are "equally barren-looking, though neither is wholly destitute of culture ...
While Leviticus 12:6–8 required a new mother to bring a burnt-offering and a sin-offering, Leviticus 26:9 Deuteronomy 28:11 and Psalm 127:3–5 make clear that having children is a blessing from God, Genesis 15:2 and 1 Samuel 1:5–11 characterize childlessness as a misfortune, and Leviticus 20:20 and Deuteronomy 28:18 threaten childlessness ...
Patrick D. Miller in his commentary on Deuteronomy suggests that different views of the structure of the book will lead to different views on what it is about. [5] The structure is often described as a series of three speeches or sermons (chapters 1:1–4:43, 4:44–29:1, 29:2–30:20) followed by a number of short appendices [6] or some kind of epilogue (31:1–34:12), consist of commission ...

Deuteronomy was formed by a complex process that reached probably from the 7th century BCE to the early 5th. [11] It consists of a historical prologue; an introduction; the Deuteronomic Code followed by blessings and curses; and a conclusion. [12] The book's core is the law code (chapters 12–26).
This section is emphasized through contrast with the verses directly preceding it, [2] which relate the blessings God will bestow if the people of Israel walk in God's ways and keep the commandments. Deuteronomy 28:15–68 has a similar series of curses proclaimed by Moses as the consequence of a failure by his people to follow God's laws and ...
