Scripture also places this passage inside a wider canonical network. Galatians 3:10 quotes the covenant curse of Deuteronomy 27:26 to describe the liability of relying on works of the law while failing to continue in all that the law requires.

The key reading question is therefore not simply, “What rule or event appears here?” but, “What does this movement teach Israel about the LORD, covenant loyalty, life in the land, and the consequences of trusting or resisting His word?”

[Christological calibration — Explicit Pauline Argument] Galatians 3:10 directly quotes Deuteronomy 27:26 to establish the curse attached to failure to continue in all the law, and the same argument proceeds to Christ redeeming from the curse by becoming a curse for us (Galatians 3:13). The curse ceremony is therefore not merely a generic “sin brings judgment” analogy; Paul explicitly places it inside his Christ-centered gospel argument.
