Deuteronomy 27:1-8

The Altar on Mount Ebal

1Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep the whole commandment that I command you today. 2And on the day ayou cross over the Jordan to the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall set up large stones and plaster them with plaster. 3 bAnd you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over to enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you, ca land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you. 4And when you have crossed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you today, don Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. 5And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. eYou shall wield no iron tool on them; 6you shall build an altar to the Lord your God of uncut
Hebrew whole
stones. And you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God,
7and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and gshall eat there, and you hshall rejoice before the Lord your God. 8And iyou shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
