2. 你们过约旦河的那日——"日"常用来指"时候"；实际上，是在过河之后数日，下列指示才被执行。
你要竖立大石头，墁上石灰——这些石头要在天然状态下取用，未经凿打、未经打磨——因为使用它们的场合不允许长时间或精细的准备；石头上要涂以颜料或石灰水，使其更显眼。在埃及和西奈半岛，至今仍可见到刻有铭文的石头甚至岩石，铭文是用颜料或石灰涂抹而成，距今已有三千年。那些石头可能用类似的方法刻上字，而摩西很可能是从埃及人那里学到这门技艺的。
英文原文
2. it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan--"Day" is often put for "time"; and it was not till some days after the passage that the following instructions were acted upon.
thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister--These stones were to be taken in their natural state, unhewn, and unpolished--the occasion on which they were used not admitting of long or elaborate preparation; and they were to be daubed over with paint or whitewash, to render them more conspicuous. Stones and even rocks are seen in Egypt and the peninsula of Sinai, containing inscriptions made three thousand years ago, in paint or plaister. By some similar method those stones may have been inscribed, and it is most probable that Moses learned the art from the Egyptians.

3. 要将这律法的一切话写在上面——有人以为所写的是十诫；但更大的可能是"祝福与咒诅"，事实上它们正是律法的撮要
(书 8:34)。
英文原文
3. thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law--It might be, as some think, the Decalogue; but a greater probability is that it was "the blessings and curses," which comprised in fact an epitome of the law
(Jos 8:34).

5-10. 在那里要为耶和华你的神筑一座……整块的石头——石头要保持天然状态，仿佛凿子会带来污秽。石堆要大到足以容纳圣约的一切条款，要高到全体以色列会众都能看见；当日的宗教仪式包括：第一，罪人所需的基本敬拜；第二，平安祭——即活泼的社交筵席，适合那位以耶和华为神的快乐子民。于是，这里有定罪的律法，也有预表的赎罪——启示宗教的两大原则并列。
英文原文
5-10. there shalt thou build an altar . . . of whole stones--The stones were to be in their natural state, as if a chisel would communicate pollution to them. The stony pile was to be so large as to contain all the conditions of the covenant, so elevated as to be visible to the whole congregation of Israel; and the religious ceremonial performed on the occasion was to consist: first, of the elementary worship needed for sinful men; and secondly, of the peace offerings, or lively, social feasts, that were suited to the happy people whose God was the Lord. There were thus, the law which condemned, and the typical expiation--the two great principles of revealed religion.

各支派分立于基利心与以巴路。

THE TRIBES DIVIDED ON GERIZIM AND EBAL.

11-13. 这些人要站在基利心山上为百姓祝福……那些人要站在以巴路山上宣布咒诅——这两条漫长而多石的山脊位于撒玛利亚省，所指的是靠近示剑（即纳布卢斯）的山峰，峭壁陡立高约八百英尺，两峰之间隔着一条约五百码宽、草木青翠、水泉丰沛的溪谷。以色列人在此分为两部分。在基利心山（今之 Jebel-et-Tur）上驻扎的是雅各两位正妻拉结和利亚的后裔，他们蒙派担任最荣美、最尊荣的职分——宣告祝福；而在以巴路这双生山（今之 Imad-el-Deen）上，则安置了两位次妻悉帕和辟拉的后裔，以及丧失了长子名分的流便和利亚最小的儿子西布伦；他们受派担任必要却痛苦的宣告咒诅之责（参
士 9:7）。
这仪式可能是在两山更为接近的低处山麓举行的；所循的程序如下：在庄严会众默默的期待中，祭司们站在下方的溪谷中围着约柜，面向基利心高声说："不制造任何偶像的人有福了"，此时排列在那山上的人齐声回应"阿们"；然后他们转身面向以巴路，喊道："制造任何偶像的人必受咒诅"；山上的人则答"阿们"。每次停顿都依同样程序，将一切祝福和咒诅依次宣告（参
书 8:33, 34）。
值得注意的是，这些因违背已从天上启示为律法的神旨而招致的咒诅，是以宣告的形式、而非愿望的形式给出的，原文应译为"必受咒诅"，而非"愿他受咒诅"。
英文原文
11-13. These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people . . . these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse--Those long, rocky ridges lay in the province of Samaria, and the peaks referred to were near Shechem (Nablous), rising in steep precipices to the height of about eight hundred feet and separated by a green, well-watered valley of about five hundred yards wide. The people of Israel were here divided into two parts. On mount Gerizim (now Jebel-et-Tur) were stationed the descendants of Rachel and Leah, the two principal wives of Jacob, and to them was assigned the most pleasant and honorable office of pronouncing the benedictions; while on the twin hill of Ebal (now Imad-el-Deen) were placed the posterity of the two secondary wives, Zilpah and Bilhah, with those of Reuben, who had lost the primogeniture, and Zebulun, Leah's youngest son; to them was committed the necessary but painful duty of pronouncing the maledictions (see on
Jud 9:7).
The ceremony might have taken place on the lower spurs of the mountains, where they approach more closely to each other; and the course observed was as follows: Amid the silent expectations of the solemn assembly, the priests standing round the ark in the valley below, said aloud, looking to Gerizim, "Blessed is the man that maketh not any graven image," when the people ranged on that hill responded in full simultaneous shouts of "Amen"; then turning round to Ebal, they cried, "Cursed is the man that maketh any graven image"; to which those that covered the ridge answered, "Amen." The same course at every pause was followed with all the blessings and curses (see on
Jos 8:33, 34).
These curses attendant on disobedience to the divine will, which had been revealed as a law from heaven, be it observed, are given in the form of a declaration, not a wish, as the words should be rendered, "Cursed is he," and not, "Cursed be he."
申 27:1-10。
百姓当将律法写在石头上。
