*
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 unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee ,
that thou shalt set thee up great stones ,
and plaister them with plaister :
*
And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law ,
when thou art passed over ,
that thou mayest go in unto 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 be gone over Jordan ,
that ye shall set up these stones ,
which I command you this day ,
in mount Ebal ,
and thou shalt plaister them with plaister .
*
And there shalt thou build an altar unto 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 burnt offerings thereon unto 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 spake unto 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 are 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 unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice ,
