The Law on the Mount of Curses
Commentators explain the significance of placing the Law on Mount Ebal, known as the 'mount of cursing.' This location was a powerful symbol, teaching Israel that because of human sin, the Law's immediate effect is to reveal our failure and the resulting curse. This foreshadows the New Testament teaching that the Law exposes our need for a savior.
