05:027:001 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
05:027:002 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:
05:027:003 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.
05:027:004 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.
05:027:005 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.
05:027:006 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:
05:027:007 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there,
and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
05:027:008 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this
law very plainly.
05:027:009 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.
05:027:010 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and
do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
05:027:011 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
05:027:012 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:
05:027:013 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad,
and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
05:027:014 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of
Israel with a loud voice,
05:027:015 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.
05:027:016 Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:017 Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:018 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:019 Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:020 Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he
uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
05:027:021 Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all
the people shall say, Amen.
