Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 27:4

4 Therefore it shall be when ye are gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these▪ stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal , and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

The mount of cursing. Here the law is written, to signify that a curse was due to the violatours of it, and that no man could expect justification or blessing from the works of the law, by the sentence whereof all men are justly accursed, as being all guilty of the transgression of it in one kind and degree or other. Here the sacrifices are to be offered to shew that there is no way to be delivered from this curse, but by the blood of Christ, which all these sacrifices did typifie, and by Christs being made a curse for us, Gal. 3. 13.
