Deuteronomy 27

And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandments that I command you today.

And it will be, on the day when you cross the Jordan to the land that God your God is giving to you, then you shall erect for yourself large stones and plaster them with plaster.

And you shall write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over; so that you may go into the land that God your God is giving to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as God, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. \*

And it will be, when you have crossed the Jordan, erect these stones that I am commanding you today, on Mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster.

And there you shall build an altar to God your God, an altar of stones; you shall not brandish an iron tool on them. \*

You shall build the altar of God your God of untouched stones, and you shall sacrifice burnt offerings on it to God your God,

and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there; and you shall rejoice to the face of God your God.

And you shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.” \*

And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! This day you have become the people of God your God.

And listen to the voice of God your God and do his commandments and statutes that I am commanding you today.” \*

And Moses commanded the people on that day, saying,

“These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people when you have crossed the Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin. \*

And these shall stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad and Asher and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. \*

And the Levites shall respond and say to all the men of Israel {in} a loud voice, \*

‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved image or cast figure, an abomination {to} God, the work of the hands of a craftsman, and sets up secretly.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

‘Cursed is the one who displaces the boundary of his neighbor.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who misleads a blind man on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

‘Cursed is the one who twists a judgment of a foreigner, fatherless, or widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who lies with the wife of his father, because he has uncovered the hem of his father.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

‘Cursed is the one who lies with any beast.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

‘Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who strikes his neighbor secretly.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

‘Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to strike a life of innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*

‘Cursed is the one who does not keep the words of this law, to do them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’ \*
