1 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 [as soon as ye have crossed Jordan],
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 there 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 whole-burnt offerings thereon unto the
LORD thy God:
7 And thou
shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there and be filled, 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 [Be silente], and hearken, O Israel;
this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God.
10 Thou
shalt therefore obey [hearken to] the
voice of the LORD thy God, and shalt 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 whosoever 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 [So be it].
16 Cursed be
he that setteth light by [dishonours]
his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
17 Cursed be
he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
18 Cursed be
he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way [in the way]. And all the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
19 Cursed be
he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all
the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
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 [So be
it].
21 Cursed be
he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
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 [So be it].
23 Cursed be
he that lieth with his mother in law [daughter-in-law].
And all the people shall say, Amen [So be
it]. Cursed is he that lies with his
wife's sister: and all the people shall say, So be it.
24 Cursed be
he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen [So be it].
25 Cursed be
he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say,
Amen [So be it].
