27 And Moses with the elders
of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which
I command you this day. 2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall
pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that
thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 3 And thou shalt write upon them all the
words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk
and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone
over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this
day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5 And there shalt thou build an altar unto
the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool
upon them. 6 Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD
thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto
the LORD thy God: 7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings,
and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God. 8 And thou shalt write upon the stones
all the words of this law very plainly. 9 And Moses and the priests the Levites
spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day
thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice
of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command
thee this day. 11 And Moses charged the people the same
day, saying, 12 These shall stand upon mount Gerizim
to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and
Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal
to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14
And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud
voice, 15 Cursed
be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the
LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret
place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16 Cursed
be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people
shall say, Amen. 17 Cursed
be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say,
Amen. 18 Cursed
be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people
shall say, Amen. 19 Cursed
be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow.
And all the people shall say, Amen. 20 Cursed
be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's
skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. 21 Cursed
be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say,
Amen. 22 Cursed
be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter
of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 23 Cursed
be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. 24 Cursed
be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say,
Amen. 25 Cursed
be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people
shall say, Amen. 26 Cursed
be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
