Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. |
2
|
And on the day you pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, you shall set up large stones, and plaster them with plaster; |
3
|
and you shall write upon them all the words of this law, when you pass over to enter the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. |
4
|
And when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. |
5
|
And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall lift up no iron tool upon them. |
6
|
You shall build an altar to the LORD your God of unhewn stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God; |
7
|
and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God. |
8
|
And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly." |

And Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God. |
10

12
|

|
And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. |
14
