And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep the whole commandment which I command you this day.

And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, so soon as thou art passed over; in order that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land flowing with milk and honey; as the Lord, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee.
4 “Ne ètso Yɔdan tɔsisi la la, ɖo kpe siawo ɖe Ebal to la dzi, abe ale si megblɔ na wò ene, eye nàsi akalo na wo.
And it shall be so soon as ye are gone over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount 'Ebal; and thou shalt cover them with plaster.

And thou shalt build there an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.

Of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of the Lord thy God; and thou shalt offer thereupon burnt-offerings unto the Lord thy God;
7 “Sa ŋutifafavɔ hã ɖe edzi, eye nàɖu nu kple dzidzɔ le afi ma le Yehowa wò Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
And thou shalt slay peace-offerings, and eat [them] there; and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God.

And thou shalt write upon the statues all the words of this law, very plainly.

Thou shalt therefore hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
