11:26

רְאֵה אָנֹכִי נֹתֵן לִפְנֵיכֶם הַיּוֹם בְּרָכָה וּקְלָלָֽה׃

Look, I place before you today, a blessing and a curse.

Look, I place before you today, a blessing and a curse.

Rashi

ראה אנכי … ברכה וקללה. הָאֲמוּרוֹת בְּהַר גְּרִזִּים וּבְהַר עֵיבָל:

Look, I place a blessing and a curse. To be pronounced at Mount Gerizim and Mount Eival.

11:27

אֶֽת־הַבְּרָכָה אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁמְעוּ אֶל־מִצְוֺת יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּֽוֹם׃

The blessing—that you heed the commandments of Adonoy, your God, that I am commanding you today.

11:28

וְהַקְּלָלָה אִם־לֹא תִשְׁמְעוּ אֶל־מִצְוֺת יְהֹוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְסַרְתֶּם מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּוֹם לָלֶכֶת אַחֲרֵי אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יְדַעְתֶּֽם׃ {ס}        

And the curse—if you do not heed the commandments of Adonoy, your God, and you veer from the course which I command you this day, to follow other gods which you did not know.

And the curse—if you do not heed the commandments of Adonoy, your God, and you veer from the course which I command you this day, to follow other gods which you did not know.

Rashi

מן הדרך אשר אנכי מצוה אתכם היום ללכת וגו'. הָא לָמַדְתָּ כָּל הָעוֹבֵד עֲ"זָ הֲרֵי הוּא סָר מִכָּל הַדֶּרֶךְ שֶׁנִּצְטַוּוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל, מִכָּאן אָמְרוּ הַמּוֹדֶה בַּעֲ"זָ כְּכוֹפֵר בְּכָל הַתּוֹרָה כֻלָּהּ (ספרי):

From the course which I command you this day, to follow. This teaches that anyone who worships idols has strayed from the entire course commanded to Yisroel. From here it is derived that anyone who admits to idolatry denies the entire Torah.
