Deuteronomy 27
27
1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel instructed the people, saying: "Keep each commandment that I instruct to you this day.
2 And when you have crossed over the Jordan, into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, you shall erect immense stones, and you shall coat them with plaster,
3 so that you may be able to write upon them all the words of this law, when you have crossed the Jordan so as to enter into the land which the Lord your God will give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as he swore to your fathers.
4 Therefore, when you have crossed over the Jordan, erect the stones, just as I instruct you to do this day, on Mount Ebal. And you shall coat them with plaster,
5 and you shall build, in that place, an altar to the Lord your God out of stones which have not been touched by iron,
6 out of stones which have not been hewn or polished. And you shall offer holocausts on it to the Lord your God.
7 And you shall immolate peace victims. And you shall eat and feast in that place, in the sight of the Lord your God.
8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, plainly and clearly."
9 And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: "Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
10 You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you."
11 And Moses instructed the people in that day, saying:
12 "These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:
15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.
16 Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.
17 Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.
18 Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.
19 Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.
20 Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, and so exposes the covering of his bed. And all the people shall say: Amen.
21 Cursed be he who lies with any beast. And all the people shall say: Amen.
22 Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or of his mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.
23 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say: Amen.
24 Cursed be he who secretly strikes down his neighbor. And all the people shall say: Amen.
25 Cursed be he who accepts gifts in order to strike down the life of innocent blood. And all the people shall say: Amen.
26 Cursed be he who does not remain in the words of this law, and does not carry them out in deed. And all the people shall say: Amen."

Devarim 27
27
1And Moshe with the zekenim of Yisroel commanded the people, saying, Be shomer over all the mitzvot which I command you today.
2And it shall be on the yom when ye shall pass over Yarden unto Ha'Aretz which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up avanim gedolot, and plaster them with plaster;
3And thou shalt write upon them kol divrei hatorah hazot, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto Ha'Aretz which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee, Eretz zavat cholov udevash; as Hashem Elohei Avoteicha hath promised thee.
4Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Yarden, that ye shall set up these avanim, which I command you today, in Mt Eival, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.
5And there shalt thou build a mizbe'ach unto Hashem Eloheicha, a mizbe'ach of avanim; thou shalt not use any barzel (iron [tool]) upon them.
6Thou shalt build the mizbe'ach of Hashem Eloheicha of avanim shleimot (uncut stones); and thou shalt offer olot thereon unto Hashem Eloheicha;
7And thou shalt offer shelamim, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before Hashem Eloheicha.
8And thou shalt write very clearly upon the avanim kol divrei hatorah hazot.
9And Moshe and the kohanim who are Levi'im spoke unto kol Yisroel, saying, Take heed, and shema, Yisroel; today thou art become the people of Hashem Eloheicha.
10Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of Hashem Eloheicha, and do His mitzvot and His chukkim, which I command thee today.
11And Moshe charged the people the same yom, saying,
12These shall stand upon Mt Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Yarden; Shim'on, and Levi, and Yehudah, and Yissakhar, and Yosef, and Binyamin;
13And these shall stand upon Mt Eival fot the curse: Reuven, Gad, and Asher, and Zevulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14And the Levi'im shall speak, and say unto all the men of Yisroel with a loud voice,
15Arur (cursed) be the ish that maketh any pesel (graven image) or massekhah (molten image), a to'evah (abomination) unto Hashem, the work of the hands of the charash (craftsman), and sets it up in a secret place. And kol HaAm shall answer and say, Omein.
16Arur (cursed) be he that treats with contempt aviv or immo. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
17Arur (cursed) be he that moveth his neighborʼs boundary marker. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
18Arur (cursed) be he that maketh the ivver (blind) to wander out of the way. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
19Arur (cursed) be he that perverteth the mishpat of the ger, yatom, and almanah. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
20Arur (cursed) be he that lieth with eshet aviv (his fatherʼs wife); because he uncovereth the robe of his father. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
21Arur be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
22Arur be he that lieth with his achot, the bat aviv, or the bat immo. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
23Arur be he that lieth with his chotenet (mother-in-law). And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
24Arur be he that attacks his re'a (neighbor) secretly. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
25Arur be he that taketh shochad (bribe, reward) to slay the nefesh dahm naki. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.
26Arur be he that confirmeth not divrei haTorah hazot by doing them. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.#27:26 Ga 3:10
