^27:1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you^* this day. ^27:2And it will be on the day when you^* will pass over the Jordan to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, that you will set up for you great stones and plaster them with plaster. ^27:3 And you will write upon them all the words of this law when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

    ^27:4 And it will be, when you^* have passed over the Jordan, that you^* will set up these stones, which I command you^* this day, in Mount Ebal and you will plaster them with plaster. ^27:5 And you will build an altar there to Jehovah your God, an altar of stones. You will lift up no iron upon them. ^27:6 You will build the altar of Jehovah your God of unhewn stones. And you will offer burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah your God. ^27:7 And you will sacrifice peace-offerings and will eat there and you will rejoice before Jehovah your God. ^27:8 And you will write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

    ^27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence and listen, O Israel. This day you have become the people of Jehovah your God. ^27:10 You will therefore obey the voice of Jehovah your God and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.

    ^27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, ^27:12 These will stand upon Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you^* have passed over the Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin. ^27:13 And these will stand upon Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad and Asher and Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

    ^27:14 And the Levites will answer and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

    ^27:15 The man is cursed who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman and sets it up in secret. And all the people will answer and say, Truly.
