Daphne - Leviticus, I don't do Old Testament.

Wayne - The Levites, in the hearing of all Israel, are to intone these words:

• 'A curse on anyone who carves an image or casts an idol, anything abominable to the Lord, a craftsman's handiwork, and sets it up in secret': the people must all respond, 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who slights his father or his mother': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who moves his neighbour's boundary stone': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who misdirects a blind man': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who withholds justice from the alien, the fatherless, and the widow': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who lies with his father's wife, for he brings shame upon his father': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who lies with any animal': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who lies with his sister, whether his father's daughter of his mother's daughter': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who lies with his wife's mother': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who accepts payment for killing an innocent person': the people must all say 'Amen'.
• 'A curse on anyone who does not fulfil this law by doing all that it prescribes': the people must all say 'Amen'.

If you faithfully obey the Lord your God by diligently observing all his commandments which I lay on you this day, then the Lord your God will raise you high above all nations of the earth, ... Deuteronomy 27:14-28:1

Aurele - It is like the commandments.

Ron - What ever happened to the missing 13.

Bob 2 - On the other hand, those who rely on obedience to the law are under a curse; for scripture says, "Cursed is everyone who does not persevere in doing everything that is written in the book of the law." Galatians 3:10
