An Overview of Chapter 26
When the Israelites enter the land and they bring in their first crop the first fruits are to be brought to the place where the Lord chooses and are given to the Levites. Then they will all worship God. In the third year all the tithe will be given to the Levites, the strangers, orphans, and widows to eat. They will ask God to bless His people and their land because of their faithfulness to obey God.
An Overview of Chapter 27
When the Israelites enter the land they are to set up large stones coated with lime on Mount Ebal and write all the words of the law on them. They will also build an altar their to offer burnt offerings on. This place will be used as the tribes agree to the terms of curses that God will give to them based on their following the law. Half of the tribes will agree to the curses on Mount Ebal, and half the tribes will agree to the blessings on Mount Gerizim.
The Levites will yell out the laws that will lead to curses if they are broken, and the tribes will answer amen after each of the laws is read.
Reflection
Do you connect the blessings and curses of God with your obedience or disobedience? Do you give your tithes and offerings as a part of your worship of God?
