Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the Israelite elders of Israel gave these instructions to the people: Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.
Forsothe Moyses comaundide, and the eldre men, to the puple of Israel, and seiden, Kepe ye ech `comaundement which Y comaunde to you to dai.
2 The day you cross the Jordan into the country the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and paint them with whitewash.
And whanne ye han passid Jordan, in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, thou schalt reyse grete stoonus, and thou schalt make tho pleyn with chalk,
3 Then write all these laws on them once you've crossed over to enter the country that the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, promised you.
that thou mow write in tho alle the wordis of this lawe, whanne Jordan is passid, that thou entre in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, the lond flowynge with mylke and hony, as he swoor to thi fadris.
4 After you've crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, having painted them with whitewash, as I've ordered you to do today.
Therfor whanne thou hast passid Jordan, reise thou the stonus whiche Y comaunde to dai to thee, in the hil of Hebal; and thou schalt make tho pleyn with chalk.
5 Also build a stone altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't use any stone tools in its construction.
And there thou schalt bilde an auter to thi Lord God, of stoonys whiche yrun touchide not,
6 Build the altar of the Lord your God with uncut stones and sacrifice burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
and of stonys vnformed and vnpolischid; and thou schalt offre theron brent sacrifices to thi Lord God; and thou schalt offre pesible sacrifices,
7 That is also where you are to sacrifice and eat your peace offerings, celebrating in the presence of the Lord your God.
and thou schalt ete there, and thou schalt make feeste bifor thi Lord God.
8 Write all these laws clearly on the stones.
And thou schalt write pleynli and clereli on the stoonys alle the wordis of this lawe.
9 Moses and the Levitical priests gave these orders to all the Israelites: “Be quiet, people of Israel, and listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
And Moises and the preestis of the kynde of Leuy seiden to al Israel, Israel, perseyue thou, and here; to day thou art maad the puple of thi Lord God;
10 So obey what the Lord your God tells you, and follow commandments and regulations that I'm giving you today.”
thou schalt here his vois, and thou schalt do `the comaundementis, and riytfulnessis, whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai.
11 That day Moses gave these orders to the people:
And Moises comaundide to the puple in that day,
12 After you've crossed the Jordan, the following tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
and seide, These men schulen stonde on the hil of Garizym to blesse the Lord, whanne Jordan `is passid; Symeon, Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Joseph, and Benjamyn.
13 The following tribes are to stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
And euene ayens these men schulen stonde in the hil of Hebal to curse, Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Neptalym.
14 Then the Levites will shout in a loud voice so Israelite can hear:
