Context of Deuteronomy 11:30

28But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before. 29“When the Lord your God brings you into the land and helps you take possession of it, you must pronounce the blessing at Mount Gerizim and the curse at Mount Ebal. (These two mountains are west of the Jordan River in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Jordan Valley, near the town of Gilgal, not far from the oaks of Moreh.) 31For you are about to cross the Jordan River to take over the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you take that land and are living in it, 32you must be careful to obey all the decrees and regulations I am giving you today.
