Deuteronomy, Chapter 27

27:1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all [of] the commandment which I command you+ this day.
27:2 And it will be on the day when you+ will pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you will set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
27:3 and you will write on them all the words of this law, when you pass over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
27:4 And it will be, when you+ pass over the Jordan, that you+ will set up these stones, which I command you+ this day, in mount Ebal, and you will plaster them with plaster.
27:5 And there you will build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones: you will lift up no iron [tool] on them.
27:6 You will build the altar of Yahweh your God of uncut stones; and you will offer burnt-offerings on it to Yahweh your God:
27:7 and you will sacrifice peace-offerings, and will eat there; and you will rejoice before Yahweh your God.
27:8 And you will write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silent, and listen, O Israel: this day you have become the people of Yahweh your God.
27:10 You will therefore obey the voice of Yahweh your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.
27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
27:12 These will stand on mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you+ pass over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
27:13 And these will stand on mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
27:14 And the Levites will answer, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
27:15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten image, a disgusting thing to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people will answer and say, Amen.
27:16 Cursed be he who dishonors his father or his mother. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:17 Cursed be he who removes his fellow man's landmark. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:18 Cursed be he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:19 Cursed be he who wrests the justice [due] to the sojourner, fatherless, and widow. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:20 Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:21 Cursed be he who lies with any manner of beast. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:22 Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:23 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:24 Cursed be he who strikes his fellow man in secret. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:25 Cursed be he who takes a bribe to strike the soul of innocent blood. And all the people will say, Amen.
27:26 Cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this law to do them. And all the people will say, Amen.
