The First Book of Moses, Commonly Called Deuteronomy (WEB)
27: 1Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment
which I command you this day. 27:2It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the
land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster
them with plaster: 27:3and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed
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. 27:4It shall be, when you are
passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in
Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. 27:5There shall you build an altar to Yahweh
your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron tool on them. 27:6You shall build the altar of
Yahweh your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to Yahweh your
God: 27:7and you shall sacrifice peace-offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before
Yahweh your God. 27:8You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 27:9Moses
and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you
are become the people of Yahweh your God. 27:10You shall therefore obey the voice of Yahweh
your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day. 27:11Moses
charged the people the same day, saying, 27:12These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the
people, when you are passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and
Joseph, and Benjamin. 27:13These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher,
and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 27:14The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a
loud voice, 27:15Cursed be the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to
Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. All the people shall
answer and say, Amen. 27:16Cursed be he who sets light by his father or his mother. All the people
shall say, Amen. 27:17Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmark. All the people shall say,
Amen. 27:18Cursed be he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. All the people shall say,
Amen. 27:19Cursed be he who wrests the justice due to the sojourner, fatherless, and widow. All the
people shall say, Amen. 27:20Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered
his father's skirt. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:21Cursed be he who lies with any manner of
animal. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:22Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of
his father, or the daughter of his mother. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:23Cursed be he who lies
with his mother-in-law. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:24Cursed be he who strikes his neighbor
in secret. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:25Cursed be he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent
person. All the people shall say, Amen. 27:26Cursed be he who doesn't confirm the words of this law
to do them. All the people shall say, Amen.
