John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 27:14

"And the Levites shall answer, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice," — Deuteronomy 27:14 (ASV)

And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of
Israel Rather, "answer ^F5 and say"; not the whole tribe of Levi, for that stood on Mount Gerizim to bless, (Deuteronomy 27:12) ; but the priests of that tribe who were placed in the valley, between the two mountains, and pronounced both the blessings and the curses in the hearing of all the tribes of Israel, to which they were to answer Amen;

and that they might plainly hear, they expressed their words with a loud voice ,
clearly and distinctly, as follow.
