Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses and [the] elderly of Israel command the people, saying, “Keep all the command which I am commanding you today;

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

2 and it has been, in the day that you pass over the Jordan to the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, that you have raised up great stones for yourself, and plastered 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 written on them all the words of this law in your passing over, so that you go into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you—a land flowing with milk and honey, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to 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 And it has been, in your passing over the Jordan, you raise up these stones which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you have plastered 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 built an altar there to your God YHWH, an altar of stones; you do not wave iron over them.

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

6 You build the altar of your God YHWH [with] complete stones, and have caused burnt-offerings to ascend on it to your God YHWH,

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

7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before your God YHWH,

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

8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.”

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

9 And Moses speaks—the priests, the Levites, also—to all Israel, saying, “Keep silent and hear, O Israel: This day you have become a people for your God YHWH;

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 and you have listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and done His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today.”

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

11 And Moses commands the people on that day, saying,

And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:

12 “These stand on Mount Gerizzim to bless the people, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And these stand, for the reviling, on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.”

And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.

14 And the Levites have answered and said to every man of Israel [with] a loud voice:

And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
