On that day
This phrase signifies a specific moment in time, a pivotal day in the history of Israel. The Hebrew word for "day" is "yom," which can mean a literal 24-hour period or a significant time frame. In this context, it marks a moment of covenant renewal and commitment. Historically, this day is set as the Israelites prepare to enter the Promised Land, emphasizing the importance of obedience and remembrance of God's laws as they transition from wandering to settlement.

Moses
Moses is a central figure in the Old Testament, serving as the leader, prophet, and mediator between God and the Israelites. His name in Hebrew, "Moshe," is thought to mean "drawn out," reflecting his rescue from the Nile and his role in drawing the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses' leadership is divinely appointed, and his commands carry the weight of God's authority. His presence in this verse underscores the continuity of God's covenant from Sinai to the plains of Moab.

commanded
The Hebrew root for "commanded" is "tsavah," which implies a directive given with authority and expectation of obedience. This is not a mere suggestion but a binding instruction. In the context of Deuteronomy, Moses' commands are not his own but are delivered on behalf of God, reinforcing the divine origin and importance of the laws and statutes being given to the people.

the people
"The people" refers to the nation of Israel, God's chosen people, who are about to enter the land promised to their ancestors. The Hebrew term "am" denotes a collective group bound by common identity and purpose. This phrase highlights the communal aspect of the covenant; it is not just an individual commitment but a collective one. The people are reminded of their identity as a nation set apart for God's purposes, called to live in obedience and faithfulness to His commands.

Verses 11-14. - Having set up the Law and renewed the covenant in Canaan, Israel was to proclaim upon the land the blessing and the curse of the Law, as already commanded (see Deuteronomy 11:29). For this purpose six tribes were to station themselves on Mount Gerizim, and six on Mount Ebal, the former to pronounce the blessing, the latter the curse. (On the situation of these two mountains, see at ch. Deuteronomy 11:29.) The six tribes by whom the blessing was to be pronounced were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin, all descended from the two wives of Jacob - Leah and Rachel. The tribes by whom the curse was to be uttered were those descended from Zilpah, Leah's maid, viz. Gad and Asher; those descended from Bilhah, Rachel's maid, viz. Dan and Naphtali; with Zebulun and Reuben, both descended from Leah. As, in order to obtain a division of the tribes into two equal portions, two of the sons of Leah must be assigned to the second half, Zebulun and Reuben were chosen, probably because the former was the youngest of Leah's sons, and the latter had by his sin forfeited his birthright (Genesis 49:4).
