Deuteronomy
Deut.27
[1] And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the
people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you
this day.
[2] 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:
[3] 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.
[4] 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.
[5] 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.
[6] 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:
[7] And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat
there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
[8] And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of
this law very plainly.
[9] 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:
[13] And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to 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.
[16] Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his
mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[17] Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's landmark.
And all the people shall say, Amen.
[18] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of
the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[19] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the
stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say,
Amen.
[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.
[21] Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
[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.
[23] Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
[24] Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And
all the people shall say, Amen.
[25] Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent
person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[26] Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of
this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
