Verse 25 is found in chapter 27 of Deuteronomy. The tribes are divided between Gerizim and Ebal to proclaim blessings and curses. The curses enumerate specific sins, including idolatry, family injustice, abuse of the vulnerable, and judicial corruption. The act turns the covenant conditions into a public and communal declaration in which no one can consider themselves outside the established responsibilities.
