²And then on the day that you cross the Jordan to the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you, then you shall set up for yourselves^c large stones, and you shall paint^d them with lime, ³and you shall write on them all the words of this law at your crossing, so that you may come into the land that Yahweh your God is giving to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors,^e promised^f to you. ⁴And when you cross the Jordan,^g you shall set up these stones that I am commanding you about today^h on Mount Ebal, and you shall paintⁱ them with lime. ⁵And you shall build an altar there for Yahweh your God, an altar of stone, but^j you shall not use an iron tool to shape the stones.^k ⁶You must build the altar of your God with unhewn stones, and you shall sacrifice on it burnt offerings to Yahweh your God. ⁷And you shall sacrifice fellowship offerings, and you shall eat them there, and you shall rejoice before^l Yahweh your God. ⁸You shall write on the stone all of the words of this law very clearly.”
