A BIT MORE

1. They were rewarded that the Kodesh Kodshim was built in their portion of Eretz Yisrael.
 
2. They were rewarded with the Kingship of Klal Yisrael.
 
3. The four aspects of the Mitzvah are learning, teaching, guarding and doing.
 
4. Rebbi Shimon takes out Har Gerizim and Har Eival because Yehoshua only mentioned the Mitzvos in the Parshah at Har Gerizim and did not mention the entire Torah; he replaces Har Gerizim with the Ohel Moed in the Midbar.
 
5. The Tana Kama who includes the sixteen Berisos of Har Gerizim and does not include the Ohel Mo'ed holds like Rebbi Yishmael that only the generalities were mentioned on Har Sinai therefore Har Sinai and the Ohel Moed are counted as one. Rebbi Shimon who includes the 16 Berisos on Sinai along with the 16 Berisos of the Ohel Mo'ed holds like Rebbi Akiva that the details were also mentioned on Har Sinai and therefore Har Sinai and the Ohel Mo'ed are counted separately.
 
6. According to the Tana Kama of Rebbi Shimon Bar Yehudah we are an Arev for our friend's Mitzvos but we are not an Arev for the Arvus of our friend, while according to Rebbi we are also an Arev for the Arvus of our friends.

BRIEF INSIGHT

FOUR ASPECTS TO A MITZVAH
 
We are bound with 16 Berisos for each Mitzvah; a general and individual blessing and curse that apply to all four aspects of the Mitzvah. The four aspects of the Mitzvah are learning, teaching, guarding and doing The Avnei Nezer says that since teaching about a Mitzvah is part of the Mitzvah therefore just as keeping Shabbos is a Mitzvah that is equal to all of the Mitzvos so too learning the Halachos of Shabbos is equal to learning about all of the Mitzvos. (Hakdamah to the Eglei Tal)

QUICK HALACHAH

NESI'US KAPAYIM
 
How was the Nesi'us Kapayim done in the Beis ha'Mikdash? The Kohanim go up to the Duchan after the Kohanim complete the Tamid Shel Shachar and lift up their hands on top of their heads with their fingers out except for the Kohen Gadol who may not lift up his hands above the Tzitz. (Rambam Hilchos Nesi'us Kapayim 14: 9)
