They clave. The common people gave their support to the leaders who had attached their seals to the document, in this way approving and ratifying what they had done.

A curse. It is possible that the curses and blessings of Deut. 27 and 28 had been included in the readings taken from the law. An oath was probably taken of the people each time the covenant between God and His people was confirmed (see Deut. 29:12; 2 Kings 23:3).

The servant of God. This title belongs to Moses in a unique way. God called him “my servant Moses,” who is “faithful in all mine house” (Num. 12:7), and from that time forward this was his special title (see Joshua 1:2; 8:31, 33; 1 Chron. 6:49; 2 Chron. 24:9; Dan. 9:11; Heb. 3:5).
