Deuteronomy 27:10
Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel with the call to take heed and hearken, to obey the voice of the Lord and do His commandments and statutes. The voice to be obeyed is not the voice of man but the voice of Christ, Jesus Christ speaking from the enfolding pillar of cloud. The command is to obey that voice and to do His commandments and statutes, keeping all the commandments.
Becoming the people of the Lord requires this obedience to His voice and doing of His commandments and statutes. Those commandments and statutes express the principles of God's kingdom. Their clear, practical instruction is meant to prevent ignorance and to remind the people that obedience serves their present and future good.
This obedience must be wholehearted, is part of loving God, and is to be ongoing. It states an enduring obligation for everyone God has blessed, and its claims remain binding because God's gifts continue. Those thus blessed are therefore continually obligated to acknowledge Him publicly by giving testimony to the truth of His Word.
It was given with direction that on passing over Jordan into the land flowing with milk and honey, the people were to set up great plastered stones on Mount Ebal and write all the words of the law on them very plainly. There they were to build an altar of whole stones without lifting any iron tool upon them, and to offer burnt offerings and peace offerings, and eat and rejoice before the Lord. Its surrounding context in Deuteronomy 26, 27, and 28 plainly sets out the blessings of obedience. Obedience brings prosperity, while disobedience brings a curse.
