  1. The Brachos and Kelalos of Har Gerizim and Har Eival:
  • “See that I am giving you today the blessings and curses. The blessings are received if you fulfill Hashem’s will, while the curses are received if you transgress Hashem’s will and you go astray after foreign gods.”
  • Har Gerizim and Har Eival: Upon your arrival to the promised land, the blessings will be given on Har Gerizim while the curses will be given on Har Eival.

 

  1. Commandments relating to conquering the land:
  • The following are the laws that you shall follow upon entering the promised land: “You are to destroy all the areas of worship of the gentile nations. You are to destroy their altars, statues, and idols, and burn their trees of idolatry, and all their apparatus.
  • Do not do this to Hashem your G-d [to destroy items of Holiness].”

 

  1. Commandments relating to Karbanos, meat and tithes:
    • Bringing the sacrifices to Shilo: “You are to offer all the Karbanos only in the Temple, in the area that Hashem has chosen to reside. You are to eat there before Hashem and rejoice there. You will no longer bring sacrifices on Bamos as you are accustomed today.”
