Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.

And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.

2 And it shall be on the day when all of you shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set you up great stones, and smear them with plaster:

And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over with plaster,

3 And you shall write upon them all the words of this law, when you are passed over, that you may go in unto the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land that flows with milk and honey; as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you.

That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.

4 Therefore it shall be when all of you be gone over Jordan, that all of you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and you shall smear them with plaster.

Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster:

5 And there shall you build an altar unto the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall not lift up any iron tool upon them.

And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,

6 You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of whole stones: and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD your God:

And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:

7 And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God.

And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.

8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,

9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day you are become the people of the LORD your God.

And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.

10 You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.

Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.
