Deuteronomy 27

CHAPTER 27 Stones in the Jordan

1 And [⁶assigned ¹Moses ²and ³the ⁴council of elders ⁵of Israel], saying, Guard all the commandments! as many as I give charge to you today. 2 And it will be in which ever day you should pass over the Jordan into the land which the lord your God gives to you, that you shall set up to yourself [²stones ¹great], and you shall whitewash them in lime. 3 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law, as when whenever you should pass over the Jordan, when ever you should enter into the land which the lord your God gives to you; a land flowing milk and honey; in which manner [⁴spoke ¹the lord ²God ³of your fathers] to you. 4 And it will be as when ever you should pass over the Jordan, you shall set these stones, which I give charge to you today, on mount Ebal, and you shall whitewash them with lime. 5 And you shall build there an altar to the lord your God -- an altar from out of stones; you shall not put upon them an iron tool. 6 [²stones ¹Of whole] you shall build the altar to the lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt-offerings to the lord your God. 7 And you shall sacrifice a sacrifice of deliverance; and you shall eat there and shall be filled up, and be glad before the lord your God. 8 And you shall write upon the stones all this law -- [²clearly ¹very]. 9 And [⁷spoke ¹Moses ²and ³the ⁴priests ⁵the ⁶Levites] to all Israel, saying, Keep silent and hear, O Israel! On this day you have become a people to the lord your God. 10 And you shall listen to the voice of the lord your God, and you shall observe all his commandments, and his ordinances, which I give charge to you today. 11 And Moses gave charge to the people in that day, saying, 12 These shall stand to bless the people in mount Gerizim passing over the Jordan; Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Curses from Mount Ebal

13 And these shall stand for the cursing on mount Ebal; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 And [³responding ⁴shall say ¹the ²Levites] to all Israel [²voice ¹with a great], 15 Accursed is the man who shall make a carving and a molten image, an abomination to the lord, a work of the hands of a craftsman, and shall put it in concealment. And answering all the people shall say, May it be. 16 Accursed is the one dishonoring his father or his mother. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 17 Accursed is the one altering boundaries of the neighbor. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 18 Accursed is the one misleading the blind in the way.

And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 20 Accursed is the one going to bed with the wife of his father, for he uncovered the marriage veil of his father. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 21 Accursed is the one going to bed with any beast. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 22 Accursed is the one going to bed with a sister from [²father ³or ⁴mother ¹his]. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 23 Accursed is the one going to bed with his mother-in-law. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be! Accursed is the one going to bed with a sister of his wife. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 24 Accursed is the one striking his neighbor with treachery. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 25 Accursed is who ever should take bribes to strike the life [²blood ¹of innocent]. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be. 26 Accursed is every man whoever shall not adhere to all the words of this law to do them. And [⁴shall say ¹all ²the ³people], May it be.
