Deuteronomy 27

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

Then Moses with the Elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keepe all the comandements, which I command you this day.

2 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.

And when ye shall passe ouer Iorden vnto the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt set thee vp great stones, and playster them with plaister,

3 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.

And shalt write vpon them all the words of this Lawe, when thou shalt come ouer, that thou mayest go into the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee: a land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.

4 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.

Therefore when ye shall passe ouer Iorden, ye shall set vp these stones, which I command you this daye in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

5 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.

And there shalt thou build vnto the Lord thy God an altar, euen an altar of stones: thou shalt lift none yron instrument vpon them.

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

Thou shalt make the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones, and offer burnt offerings thereon vnto the Lord thy God.

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

And thou shalt offer peace offrings, and shalt eate there and reioyce before the Lord thy God:

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

And thou shalt write vpon the stones al the words of this Law, well and plainely.

9 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.

And Moses and the Priestes of the Leuites spake vnto all Israel, saying, Take heede and heare, O Israel: this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God.

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

Thou shalt hearken therefore vnto the voyce of the Lord thy God, and do his commandements and his ordinances, which I commande thee this day.

11 Moses commanded the people the same day and said,

And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

12 “These tribes must stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people after you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

These shall stand vpon mount Gerizzim, to blesse the people when ye shall passe ouer Iorden: Simeon, and Leui, and Iudah, and Issachar, and Ioseph, and Beniamin.

13 These are the tribes that must stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

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

14 The Levites will answer and say to all the men of Israel in a loud voice:

And the Leuites shall answere and say vnto all the men of Israel with a loude voyce,
