Deuteronomy 27
27
1And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. 2And it shall be on the day when ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: 3and thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou goest over that thou mayest enter into the land which Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4And it shall be when ye go over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. 5And there shalt thou build an altar to Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim an altar of stones; thou shalt not lift up an iron tool upon them; 6of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim and thou shalt offer up burnt-offerings thereon to Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim 7And thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim 8And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 9And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hearken, Israel! this day thou art become the people of Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim 10And thou shalt hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God#GodHebrew: Elohim and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
11And Moses gave commandment to the people the same day, saying, 12These shall stand to bless the people upon mount Gerizim, when ye have gone over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin. 13And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14And the Levites shall declare and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice: 15Cursed be the man that maketh a graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, a work of the craftsman's hand, and putteth it up secretly! And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16Cursed be he that slighteth his father or his mother! And all the people shall say, Amen. 17Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark! And all the people shall say, Amen. 18Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way! And all the people shall say, Amen. 19Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow! And all the people shall say, Amen. 20Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; for he uncovereth his father's skirt! And all the people shall say, Amen. 21Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast! And all the people shall say, Amen. 22Cursed 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. 23Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law! And all the people shall say, Amen. 24Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly! And all the people shall say, Amen. 25Cursed be he that taketh reward to smite mortally shedding innocent blood! And all the people shall say, Amen. 26Cursed be he that confirmeth not the words of this law to do them! And all the people shall say, Amen.
