Deuteronomy 27

We are indeed back into more of a narrative here, though not a lot is happening (just Moses giving more instructions for when the Israelites will cross into the promised land). The idea of half the Israelites standing to represent the blessings God put on them, and the other half standing to represent the curses that would fall on those who broke His laws seems a bit odd to me. The idea of writing the laws and commandments on stones atop a mountain is pretty cool, though; I wonder how long those stood. Are they perhaps still there somewhere?
