דברים 27

1 וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה וְזִקְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הָעָם לֵאמֹר שָׁמֹר אֶת־כׇּל־הַמִּצְוָה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּֽוֹם׃

Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;

2 וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר תַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן אֶל־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לָךְ וַהֲקֵמֹתָ לְךָ אֲבָנִים גְּדֹלוֹת וְשַׂדְתָּ אֹתָם בַּשִּֽׂיד׃

And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

3 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׃

And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

4 וְהָיָה בְּעׇבְרְכֶם אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן תָּקִימוּ אֶת־הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם הַיּוֹם בְּהַר עֵיבָל וְשַׂדְתָּ אוֹתָם בַּשִּֽׂיד׃

And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

5 וּבָנִיתָ שָּׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ מִזְבַּח אֲבָנִים לֹא־תָנִיף עֲלֵיהֶם בַּרְזֶֽל׃

There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

6 אֲבָנִים שְׁלֵמוֹת תִּבְנֶה אֶת־מִזְבַּח יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְהַעֲלִיתָ עָלָיו עוֹלֹת לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

7 וְזָבַחְתָּ שְׁלָמִים וְאָכַלְתָּ שָּׁם וְשָׂמַחְתָּ לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.

8 וְכָתַבְתָּ עַל־הָאֲבָנִים אֶֽת־כׇּל־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָה הַזֹּאת בַּאֵר הֵיטֵֽב׃

And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

9 וַיְדַבֵּר מֹשֶׁה וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם אֶל כׇּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר הַסְכֵּת ׀ וּשְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה נִהְיֵיתָֽ לְעָם לַיהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃

Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

10 וְשָׁמַעְתָּ בְּקוֹל יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְעָשִׂיתָ אֶת־מִצְוֺתָו וְאֶת־חֻקָּיו אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוְּךָ הַיּֽוֹם׃

For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

11 וַיְצַו מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הָעָם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹֽר׃

That same day Moses said to the people,

12 אֵלֶּה יַֽעַמְדוּ לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־הָעָם עַל־הַר גְּרִזִים בְּעׇבְרְכֶם אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן שִׁמְעוֹן וְלֵוִי וִֽיהוּדָה וְיִשָּׂשכָר וְיוֹסֵף וּבִנְיָמִֽן׃

These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

13 וְאֵלֶּה יַֽעַמְדוּ עַל־הַקְּלָלָה בְּהַר עֵיבָל רְאוּבֵן גָּד וְאָשֵׁר וּזְבוּלֻן דָּן וְנַפְתָּלִֽי׃

And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 וְעָנוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְאָמְרוּ אֶל־כׇּל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל קוֹל רָֽם׃

Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

15 אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה פֶסֶל וּמַסֵּכָה תּוֹעֲבַת יְהֹוָה מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי חָרָשׁ וְשָׂם בַּסָּתֶר וְעָנוּ כׇל־הָעָם וְאָמְרוּ אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.

16 אָרוּר מַקְלֶה אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who does not give honour to his father or mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

17 אָרוּר מַסִּיג גְּבוּל רֵעֵהוּ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.

18 אָרוּר מַשְׁגֶּה עִוֵּר בַּדָּרֶךְ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he by whom the blind are turned out of the way. And let all the people say, So be it.

19 אָרוּר מַטֶּה מִשְׁפַּט גֵּר־יָתוֹם וְאַלְמָנָה וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who gives a wrong decision in the cause of a man from a strange land, or of one without a father, or of a widow. And let all the people say, So be it.

20 אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־אֵשֶׁת אָבִיו כִּי גִלָּה כְּנַף אָבִיו וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his father's wife, for he has put shame on his father. And let all the people say, So be it.

21 אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־כׇּל־בְּהֵמָה וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who has sex relations with any sort of beast. And let all the people say, So be it.

22 אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־אֲחֹתוֹ בַּת־אָבִיו אוֹ בַת־אִמּוֹ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

23 אָרוּר שֹׁכֵב עִם־חֹֽתַנְתּוֹ וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who has sex relations with his mother-in-law. And let all the people say, So be it.

24 אָרוּר מַכֵּה רֵעֵהוּ בַּסָּתֶר וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's life secretly. And let all the people say, So be it.

25 אָרוּר לֹקֵחַ שֹׁחַד לְהַכּוֹת נֶפֶשׁ דָּם נָקִי וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.

26 אָרוּר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָקִים אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הַתּוֹרָֽה־הַזֹּאת לַעֲשׂוֹת אוֹתָם וְאָמַר כׇּל־הָעָם אָמֵֽן׃

Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.
