Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.

Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

2 And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over with plaster,

It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

3 That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.

and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster:

It shall be, when you have 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.

5 And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,

There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.

6 And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:

You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:

7 And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.

and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.

8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,

You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

9 And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.

Moses and the cohanim the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10 Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.

You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

11 And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:

Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

12 These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

"These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.

These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:

The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
