Deuteronomy 27

27And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. ²And it shall be on the day ^awhen ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: ^3bAnd 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, ^ca land that floweth with milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee. ⁴Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, ^din mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. ⁵And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: ^ethou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. ⁶Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of ^ewhole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God: ⁷And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God. ⁸And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

⁹And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; ^fthis day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God. ¹⁰Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

¹¹And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, ^12gThese 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: ¹³And ^gthese shall stand upon mount Ebal ^†to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. ¹⁴And ^hthe Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, ¹⁵ⁱCursed 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. ^kAnd all the people shall answer and say, Amen. ^16lCursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.

And all the people shall say, Amen. ^20pCursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth ^qhis father’s skirt.

And all the people shall say, Amen. ^26xCursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
