Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people ,
saying ,
Keep all the commandments which I command you this day .
*
And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan to the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee ,
that thou shalt set thee up great stones ,
and plaster them with plaster :
*
And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law ,
when thou hast passed over ,
that thou mayest enter in to 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 .
*
Therefore it shall be when ye have gone over Jordan ,
that ye shall set up these stones ,
which I command you this day ,
in mount Ebal ,
and thou shalt plaster them with plaster .
*
And there shalt thou build an altar to the LORD thy God ,
an altar of stones :
thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them .
*
Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones :
and thou shalt offer on it burnt-offerings to the LORD thy God .
*
And thou shalt offer peace-offerings ,
and shalt eat there ,
and rejoice before the LORD thy God .
*
And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law ,
very plainly .
*
And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel ,
saying ,
Take heed and hearken ,
O Israel ,
this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God .
*
Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God ,
and do his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day .
*
And Moses charged the people the same day ,
saying ,
*
These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people ,
when ye have come over Jordan ;
Simeon ,
and Levi ,
and Judah ,
and Issachar ,
and Joseph ,
and Benjamin :
*
And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse ;
Reuben ,
Gad ,
and Asher ,
and Zebulun ,
Dan ,
and Naphtali .
*
And the Levites shall speak ,
and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice ,
*
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image ,
an abomination to the LORD ,
the work of the hands of the artificer ,
and putteth it in a secret place :
and all the people shall answer ,
and say Amen .
