What happens in Ki Tavo
When the people enter the land they are to bring their first fruits to the sanctuary with a declaration of thanks that retells the story of their ancestors, and to declare that they have given their tithes. They are to write the Torah on stones and hear blessings and curses at Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal. Moses sets out the blessings for keeping the covenant and the hardships for leaving it, and reminds the people of all they have seen.
וְהָיָה כִּי־תָבוֹא אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר ה׳ אֱלֹקֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ נַחֲלָה וִירִשְׁתָּהּ וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בָּהּ
“And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and dost possess it, and dwell therein;”
