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 elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which 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 it shall be on the day when you shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set you up great stones, and plaster them 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.

And you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed over, that you may go in to 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.

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 it shall be when you be gone over Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and you shall 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 there shall you build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall not lift up any iron tool on them.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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 the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Take heed, and listen, O Israel; this day you are become the people of the LORD your 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.”

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

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

And Moses charged the people the same 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 on mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:

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

And these shall stand on mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
