When recounting the giving of the Law at Mount Sinai, Moses told the sons of Israel: See, I am putting before you today blessing and malediction: the blessing, provided you will obey the commandments of Jehovah your God that I am commanding you today. and the malediction, if you will not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God and you do turn aside from the way about which I am commanding you today.
