Deuteronomii 27
1 praecepit autem Moses et seniores Israhel populo dicentes custodite omne mandatum quod praecipio vobis hodie
And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.
2 cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi eriges ingentes lapides et calce levigabis eos
And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster.
3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius Iordane transmisso ut introeas terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi terram lacte et melle manantem sicut iuravit patribus tuis
And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to you.
4 quando ergo transieritis Iordanem erige lapides quos ego hodie praecipio vobis in monte Hebal et levigabis calce
And it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5 et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus quos ferrum non tetigit
And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.
6 et de saxis informibus et inpolitis et offeres super eo holocausta Domino Deo tuo
Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God.
7 et immolabis hostias pacificas comedesque ibi et epulaberis coram Domino Deo tuo
And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 et scribes super lapides omnia verba legis huius plane et lucide
And you shall write upon the stones all this law very plainly.
9 dixeruntque Moses et sacerdotes levitici generis ad omnem Israhelem adtende et audi Israhel hodie factus es populus Domini Dei tui
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to the Lord your God.
