What are the implications of "Vehayah ki Yevi'acha"?
What are "ha'Berachah ... " and "ha'Kelalah ... " in this Pasuk referring to?
Rashi (citing Targum Onkelos): They refer to those 1 who will pronounce the B'rachos and the K'lalos, who will face Har Gerizim 2 for the B'rachos, 3 and Har Eival for the K'lalos. 4
Ramban and Seforno: They refer to the actual B'rachos and K'lalos. 5
Targum Yonasan: They refer to the six tribes that will ascend Har Gerizim and the six tribes that will ascend Har Eival 6 and "Venasata" refers to the Levi'im who will pronounce the B'rachos in the direction of Har Gerizim, and to those who will pronouince the K'lalos in the direction of Har Eival.
Ramban: And the Torah here leaves open the question as to whether both the B'rachos and the K'lalos were said by all the tribes, by the Levi'im or by just one representative. This, together with other relevant details, will be clarified in Ki Savo, immediately after Chamishi. See Ramban's objection to this explanation ? Refer to 11:29:1:2*.
Ramban: Based on the Pasuk in Yirmiyah, 1:14 "mi'Tzafon Tipasach ha'Ra'ah", we can assume that Har Gerizim was to the south ? which is equivalent to the right (Refer to 11:30:2:1)) and Har Eival, to the north ? which is equivalent to the left.
Rashi: The curses that are written in Ki Savo, they first read out (conversely) in the form of a B'rachah ? "Baruch ha'Ish asher Lo Ya'aseh Pesel .... ".
See Rashi 27:12.
Seforno: "Venasata es ha'Berachah ... " ? to bless those who keep the Mitzvos' "ve'es ha'Kelalah" ? to curs those who transgress them. Ramban: And "Venasata" means 'to confer' verbally, not 'to place'.
As the Pasuk will explain in Ki Savo, 27:12 & 13.
Seeing as the Torah will discuss the issue of Har Gerizim and Har Eival in Ki Savo, why does it mention it here?
Sotah, 37b: To teach us that the B'rachos - which are not mentioned in Ki Savo - precede the K'lalos, one at a time, 1 and that the B'rachos, must be announced by the Levi'im, in a loud voice and in Lashon ha'Kodesh - like the K'lalos, 2 via a K?lal and P?rat and tht ater both the B?rachos and the Klalos, everyone answers ?Amen?.
Why does the Torah leave the details of the B'rachos and K'lalos until Ki Savo? Why does it not mention them here?
Oznayim la'Torah: The Parshah of B'rachos and K'lalos belongs in Ki Savo, after the Torah has concluded the Mitzvos, upn which the B'rachos and K'lalos hinge. And Moshe mentions them here briefly in the form of a warning "Re'ei Anochi Nosen Lifneichem ha'Yom ... ', in keeping with his style throughout Seifer Devarim, which - with the exception of Re'ei, Shoftim, Ki Seitzei and the first part of Ki Savo - is basically Musar interspersed with the history of Yisrael from the time they left Egypt.
