Of the Wars: Caput VIII — The Second War, of Ai [Bellum II. Haiense]

Question XXII. How many, and of what kind, were the blessings [precations] and imprecations?

There seems to have been regard [had] to the number of the tribes. For in Deut., ch. 27, from v. 15, are enumerated 11 imprecations; and it is likely [that] just as many favorable blessings answered to them — although mention is made of only a few (ch. 28). Of what kind they are, and with how various good or evil [things] they are heaped up, one may read in the same place (ch. 27 and 28).
