"Pay attention"
I set before you today a blessing and a curse
Allowing the people to choose whether they want God to bless them or curse them is spoken of as if a blessing and a curse were objects that Moses is setting in front of them. Alternate translation: "Today you must choose whether God will bless you or curse you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
