Deuter­­onomy 27

27
The Altar on Mount Ebal
1Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep all the commandments which I am commanding you today. 2#Jos 4:1On the day when you cross over the Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you must set up for yourself great stones, and cover them with plaster. 3#Dt 26:9; Jos 8:32Then you must write all the words of this law on them, when you cross over, so that you may enter into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you. 4Therefore, when you cross over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I am commanding you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall cover them with plaster. 5#Ex 20:25There you must build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them. 6You must build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones, and you must offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. 7#Dt 12:7You must offer peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God. 8#Hab 2:2You must write all the words of this law very clearly on the stones.
9Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying: Be silent and listen, O Israel. Today you have become the people of the Lord your God. 10Therefore, you must obey the voice of the Lord your God and do His commandments and His statutes, which I am commanding you today.
11Moses commanded the people the same day, saying:
12#Jdg 9:7These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people when you cross over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 13And these must stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14#Da 9:11The Levites will answer and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
15#Ex 20:4; 34:17“Cursed is the man who makes any graven or molded image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place.” And all the people shall answer and say, “Amen.”
