'Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'I realize that this is supposed to be a serious occasion, but this kinda made me laugh. First, you've had a long list of things people should not do, or they will be cursed. Then, you end with a curse upon those who do not follow those instructions.
If my reasoning is right, that means anyone who messes up is doubly-cursed. Why bother? What's the point in being cursed twice for the same action (or lack of action)? And what kind of curse is this? What's the penalty, besides separation from God (for which being cursed once would be enough)? What happens when you are cursed for being cursed for breaking the law? What's the point?
