And Moses
with the elders of Israel commanded the people,
saying, Keep all the commandments which I command
you this day.
02 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:
03 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.
04 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.
05 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.
06 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:
07 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and
shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy
God.
08 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the
words of this law very plainly.
09 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.
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.
11 And Moses charged the people the same day,
saying,
12 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:

curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan,
and Naphtali.
14 And the Levites shall speak,
and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud
voice,
15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or
molten image, an abomination unto the Lord, the
work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth
it in a secret place. And all the people shall
answer and say, Amen.

of this law to do them. And all the people shall
