Deuteronomy 27:1-26 Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people saying:You are to observe all the instructions that I am enjoining on you today.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people saying:You are to observe all the instructions that I am enjoining on you today. ² And it will come to be in the day on which you shall cross over the Jordan to the land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you, that you will set up for yourself large stones and whitewash them with lime. ³ Then you will write on them all the words of this law when you cross over, that you may enter the land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving to you, a land gushing with milk and honey, just as Yahweh Elohim of your fathers promised to you. ⁴ And it will come to be that when you cross over the Jordan you shall set up these stones about which I am instructing you today, at Mount Ebal, and you will whitewash them with lime. ⁵ When you build there an altar for Yahweh your Elohim, an altar of stones, you shall not swing an iron tool over them. ⁶ You shall build the altar of Yahweh your Elohim with suitable stones, and you will bring up ascent offerings on it to Yahweh your Elohim. ⁷ Also you will sacrifice peace offerings and eat there and rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim. ⁸ Then you will write on the stones all the words of this law. Make it thoroughly plain. ⁹ Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying:Keep quiet and hearken, Israel. This day you have become a people holy to Yahweh your Elohim. ¹⁰ So you will hearken to the voice of Yahweh your Elohim and keep His instructions and His statutes which I am enjoining on you today. ¹¹ Moses instructed the people on that day, saying. ¹² These shall stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim when you cross over the Jordan:Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin. ¹³ And these shall stand for the malediction on Mount Ebal:Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali. ¹⁴ Then the Levites will respond and say to every man of Israel in a raised up voice: ¹⁵ Cursed be the man who makes a carving or a molten image, an abhorrence to Yahweh, the work of an artificer's hands, and places it in concealment. Then all the people will respond and say:Amen!" ¹⁶ Cursed be the one dishonoring his father or his mother. Then all the people shall say:Amen! ¹⁷ Cursed be the one moving the boundary marker of his associate. Then all the people will say:Amen! ¹⁸ Cursed be the one causing the blind to err on the road. Then all the people will say:Amen! ¹⁹ Cursed be the one turning aside the judgment of the sojourner, the orphan or the widow. Then all the people will say:Amen!" ²⁰ Cursed be the one lying with the wife of his father, for he exposes his father's hem. Then all the people will say:Amen!" ²¹ Cursed be the one lying with any beast. Then all the people will say:Amen! ²² Cursed be the one lying with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother. Then all the people will say:Amen!" ²³ Cursed be the one lying with his sister-in-law. Then all the people will say:Amen! ²⁴ Cursed be the one smiting his associate in concealment. Then all the people will say:Amen! ²⁵ Cursed be the one taking a bribe to smite a soul of innocent blood. Then all the people will say:Amen! ²⁶ Cursed be the one who is not performing all the words of this law to do them. Then all the people will say:Amen!
