Deuteronomy 27 General Notes

Important figures of speech in this chapter

"May the man be cursed"

This phrase is repeated several times in this chapter. This parallelism serves as a warning to the Israelites when they will live in the Promised Land. This is part of the covenant Yahweh made with Moses. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/promisedland and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/lawofmoses)
