Comentários de Citação sobre Deuteronômio 27:11

ולהלן הוא אומר – in the blessings and curses of Har Gerizim (Deuteronomy 27:11-14).

אמרו According to some, Praise ye (comp. Dent. 26:17); I prefer Say ye, from אמר to say—in the heart or with the mouth.¹⁴In the heart or with the mouth—that is, to think or to declare—is added because the context—here as well as Deut. 26:17—requires rather the verb to think, to be convinced, than to speak. In his commentary on Deut. 27:11, I. E. confesses to have obtained this explanation from R. Jehudah Hallevi.

ונתתה את הברכה, “you shall set the blessing;” verbally, as the author has explained in Deuteronomy 27,11-14; another example can be found in Leviticus 16,21: ונתן אותם על ראש השעיר, “he will place them on the head of the he-goat” (the sins of Israel).
