DE-27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the
people, saying,
Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
DE-27:2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over
Jordan unto the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set
thee up great
stones, and plaster them with plaster:
DE-27:3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this
law, when thou
art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the
LORD thy God
giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the
LORD God of thy
fathers hath promised thee.
DE-27:4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan,
[that] ye shall
set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal,
and thou
shalt plaster them with plaster.
DE-27:5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy
God, an altar
of stones: thou shalt not lift up [any] iron [tool] upon them.
DE-27:6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole
stones: and
thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:
DE-27:7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat
there, and
rejoice before the LORD thy God.
DE-27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of
this law very
plainly.
DE-27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all
Israel, saying,
Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the
people of the
LORD thy God.
DE-27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy
God, and do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
DE-27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
DE-27:12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the
people, when ye
are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar,
and Joseph,
and Benjamin:
DE-27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben,
Gad, and
Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
DE-27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men
of Israel with
a loud voice,
DE-27:15 Cursed [be] the man that maketh [any] graven or molten
image, an
abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the
craftsman, and putteth
[it] in [a] secret [place]. And all the people shall answer and
say, Amen.
DE-27:16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his
mother. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:17 Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbour's landmark.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of
the way. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:19 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the
stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:20 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father's wife;
because he
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
DE-27:21 Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:22 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his sister, the
daughter of his
father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall
say, Amen.
DE-27:23 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother in law. And
all the people
shall say, Amen.
DE-27:24 Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbour secretly.
And all the
people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:25 Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent
person. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
DE-27:26 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of
this law to do
them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
