* And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people , saying , Keep the whole commandment which I command you this day . * And it shall be on the day when ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee , that thou shalt set up for thyself great stones , and cover them with plaster ; * And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law , so soon as thou art passed over ; in order that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee , a land flowing with milk and honey ; as the Lord , the God of thy fathers , hath spoken unto thee . * And it shall be so soon as ye are gone over the Jordan , that ye shall set up these stones , which I command you this day , on mount ‘Ebal ; and thou shalt cover them with plaster . * And thou shalt build there an altar unto the Lord thy God , an altar of stones : thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them . * Of whole stones shalt thou build the altar of the Lord thy God ; and thou shalt offer thereupon burnt –offerings unto the Lord thy God ; * And thou shalt slay peace –offerings , and eat there ; and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God . * And thou shalt write upon the statues all the words of this law , very plainly . * And Moses with the priests , the Levites , spoke unto all Israel , saying , Be attentive , and hearken , O Israel ! this day art thou become a people unto the Lord thy God . * Thou shalt therefore hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God , and do his commandments and his statutes , which I command thee this day . * And Moses commanded the people on the same day , saying , * These shall stand upon mount Gerizzim to bless the people , when ye are come over the Jordan : Simeon , and Levi , and Judah , and Issachar , and Joseph , and Benjamin . * And these shall stand for the sake of the curse upon mount ‘Ebal : Reuben , Gad , and Asher , and Zebulun , Dan , and Naphtali . * And the Levites shall commence , and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice , * Cursed be the man who maketh a graven or molten image , the abomination of 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 . * Cursed be he that holdeth in light esteem his father or his mother ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that removeth the landmark of his neighbor ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that causeth the blind to wander out of the way ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that perverteth the cause of the stranger , of the fatherless , and of the widow ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that lieth with his father ’s wife ; because he uncovereth his father ’s skirt ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * 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 . * Cursed be he that lieth with his mother –in –law ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that taketh a bribe to slay a person , an innocent blood ; and all the people shall say , Amen . * Cursed be he that executeth not the words of this law to do them ; and all the people shall say , Amen .
