Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
| וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה וְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הָעָם לֵאמֹר שָׁמֹר אֶת־כׇּל־הַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
| וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר תַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָךְ וַהֲקֵמֹתָ לְךָ אֲבָנִים גְּדֹלוֹת וְשַׂדְתָּ אֹתָם בַּשִּֽׂיד׃ |
3 and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
| וְכָתַבְתָּ עֲלֵיהֶן אֶֽת־כׇּל־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת בְּעׇבְרֶךָ לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹא אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲֽשֶׁר־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ ׀ נֹתֵן לְךָ אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבַשׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽי־אֲבֹתֶיךָ לָֽךְ׃ |
4 It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
| וְהָיָה בְּעׇבְרְכֶם אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן תָּקִימוּ אֶת־הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּוֹם בְּהַר עֵיבָל וְשַׂדְתָּ אוֹתָם בַּשִּֽׂיד׃ |
5 There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.
| וּבָנִיתָ שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים לֹא־תָנִיף עֲלֵיהֶם בַּרְזֶֽל׃ |
6 You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:
| אֲבָנִים שְׁלֵמוֹת תִּבְנֶה אֶת־מִזְבַּח יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהַעֲלִיתָ עָלָיו עוֹלֹת לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ |
7 and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.
| וְזָבַחְתָּ שְׁלָמִים וְאָכַלְתָּ שָּׁם וְשָׂמַחְתָּ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ |
8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."
| וְכָתַבְתָּ עַל־הָאֲבָנִים אֶֽת־כׇּל־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת בַּאֵר הֵיטֵֽב׃ |
9 Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.
| וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם אֶל כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הַסְכֵּת ׀ וּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה נִהְיֵיתָֽ לְעָם לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ |
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."
| וְשָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקוֹל יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת־מִצְוֺתָו וְאֶת־חֻקָּיו אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּֽוֹם׃ |
11 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,
| וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הָעָם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹֽר׃ |
12 "These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
| אֵלֶּה יַֽעַמְדוּ לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־הָעָם עַל־הַר גְּרִזִים בְּעׇבְרְכֶם אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן שִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי וִֽיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וְיוֹסֵף וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃ |
13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
| וְאֵלֶּה יַֽעַמְדוּ עַל־הַקְּלָלָה בְּהַר עֵיבָל רְאוּבֵן גָּד וְאָשֵׁר וּזְבוּלֻן דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִֽי׃ |
14 The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
| וְעָנוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְאָמְרוּ אֶל־כׇּל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל קוֹל רָֽם׃ |
15 'Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' All the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה פֶסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה תּוֹעֲבַת יְהֹוָה מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי חָרָשׁ וְשָׂם בַּסָּתֶר וְעָנוּ כׇל־הָעָם וְאָמְרוּ אָמֵֽן׃ |
16 'Cursed is he who sets light by his father or his mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'

18 'Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the way.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר מַשְׁגֶּה עִוֵּר בַּדָּרֶךְ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
19 'Cursed is he who wrests the justice due the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'

20 'Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־אֵשֶׁת אָבִיו כִּי גִלָּה כְּנַף אָבִיו וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
21 'Cursed is he who lies with any kind of animal.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־כׇּל־בְּהֵמָה וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
22 'Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־אֲחֹתוֹ בַּת־אָבִיו אוֹ בַת־אִמּוֹ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
23 'Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־חֹֽתַנְתּוֹ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
24 'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר מַכֵּה רֵעֵהוּ בַּסָּתֶר וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
25 'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'
| אָרוּר לֹקֵחַ שֹׁחַד לְהַכּוֹת נֶפֶשׁ דָּם נָקִי וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
26 'Cursed is he who doesn't confirm all the words of this law to do them.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'"
| אָרוּר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָקִים אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה־הַזֹּאת לַעֲשׂוֹת אוֹתָם וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃ |
