1 And he commanded Moses and [the] elders of Israel the people saying keep all the commandment which I [am] commanding you this day.

Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people and said, “Keep all the commandments that I command you today.

2 And it will be on the day when you will pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh God your [is] about to give to you and you will set up for yourself stones large and you will whitewash them with lime.

On the day when you will pass over the Jordan to the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, you must set up some large stones and plaster them with plaster.

3 And you will write on them all [the] words of the law this when passing over you so that this you may go into the land which Yahweh God your - [is] about to give to you a land flowing of milk and honey just as he spoke Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your to you.

You must write on them all the words of this law when you have passed over; that you may go into the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, has promised you.

4 And it will be when have passed over you the Jordan you will set up the stones these which I [am] commanding you this day on [the] mountain of Ebal and you will whitewash them with lime.

When you have passed over the Jordan, set up these stones that I am commanding you about today, on Mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster.

5 And you will build there an altar to Yahweh God your an altar of stones not you will wield on them iron.

There you must build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones; but you must raise no iron tool to work the stones.

6 Stones complete you will build [the] altar of Yahweh God your and you will offer up on it burnt offerings to Yahweh God your.

You must build the altar of Yahweh your God of unworked stones; you must offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God,

7 And you will sacrifice peace offerings and you will eat [them] there and you will rejoice before Yahweh God your.

and you will sacrifice fellowship offerings and will eat there; you will rejoice before Yahweh your God.

8 And you will write on the stones all [the] words of the law this surely clearly doing well.

You will write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”

9 And he spoke Moses and the priests the Levites to all Israel saying keep silent - and listen O Israel the day this you have become a people of Yahweh God your.

Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel and said, “Be silent and listen, Israel: Today you have become the people of Yahweh your God.

10 And you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your and you will do (commandments his *Q(K)*) and statutes his which I [am] commanding you this day.

You must therefore obey the voice of Yahweh your God and obey his commandments and statutes that I am commanding you today.”
