27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.
27:2 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:
27:3 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.
27:4 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.
27:5 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.
27:6 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.
27:7 And thou shalt offer peace-offerings, and shalt eat there,
and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this
law, very plainly.
27:9 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.
27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God,
and do his commandments and his statutes which I command thee
this day.
27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
27:12 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:
27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben,
Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of
Israel with a loud voice,
27:15 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.
27:16 Cursed [be] he that setteth light by his father or his
mother: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:17 Cursed [be] he that removeth his neighbor's landmark: and
all the people shall say, Amen.
27:18 Cursed [be] he that maketh the blind to wander out of the
way: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:19 Cursed [be] he that perverteth the judgment of the
stranger, fatherless, and widow: and all the people shall say,
Amen.
27:20 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his father's wife; because
he uncovereth his father's skirt: and all the people shall say,
Amen.
27:21 Cursed [be] he that lieth with any manner of beast: and
all the people shall say, Amen.
27:22 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.
27:23 Cursed [be] he that lieth with his mother-in-law: and all
the people shall say, Amen.
27:24 Cursed [be] he that smiteth his neighbor secretly: and all
the people shall say, Amen.
27:25 Cursed [be] he that taketh reward to slay an innocent
person: and all the people shall say, Amen.
27:26 Cursed [be] he that confirmeth not [all] the words of this
law to do them: and all the people shall say, Amen.
