14 “And ^athe Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel:

15 ^a‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image,¹ an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ ^b“And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen!’

16 ^a‘Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

17 ^a‘Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ “And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

Deuteronomy 27:14

The Levites - Some of the Levites, namely, the priests, who bare the ark, as it is expressed Joshua 8:33, for the body of the Levites stood upon mount Gerizzim, Deuteronomy 27:12. But these stood in the valley between Gerizzim and Ebal, looking towards the one or the other mountain as they pronounced either the blessings or the curses.
