Context of Deuteronomy 11:31

29And it shall come to pass, when Yhwh thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. 30Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the wilderness over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
