Commentary:

on
  (Sotah 32a; Rashi). Or, 'near' (Sotah 37a; Chizzkuni). The Hebrew word al has both connotations.

Mount Gerizim
  See Deuteronomy, 11:29.

for the people's blessing
  Or, 'when the blessing is given' (HaKethav VeHaKabbalah). Some say that the blessings were the precise opposite of the curses given below (Sotah 37b). However, others indicate that the blessings might be 28:1-14 (Ibn Ezra). See Joshua 8:34.

Levi
  The younger ones, or those not fit for service (see Numbers 4:47; Sotah 37a). The other Levites pronounced the blessings (Deuteronomy 27:14).
