Deuteronomy 27

1 Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;

Forsothe Moyses comaundide, and the eldre men, to the puple of Israel, and seiden, Kepe ye ech `comaundement which Y comaunde to you to dai.

2 And on the day when you go over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, put up great stones, coating them with building-paste,

And whanne ye han passid Jordan, in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, thou schalt reyse grete stoonus, and thou schalt make tho pleyn with chalk,

3 And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

that thou mow write in tho alle the wordis of this lawe, whanne Jordan is passid, that thou entre in to the lond which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee, the lond flowynge with mylke and hony, as he swoor to thi fadris.

4 And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

Therfor whanne thou hast passid Jordan, reise thou the stonus whiche Y comaunde to dai to thee, in the hil of Hebal; and thou schalt make tho pleyn with chalk.

5 There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

And there thou schalt bilde an auter to thi Lord God, of stoonys whiche yrun touchide not,

6 You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

and of stonys vnformed and vnpolischid; and thou schalt offre theron brent sacrifices to thi Lord God; and thou schalt offre pesible sacrifices,

7 And you are to make your peace-offerings, feasting there with joy before the Lord your God.

and thou schalt ete there, and thou schalt make feeste bifor thi Lord God.

8 And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

And thou schalt write pleynli and clereli on the stoonys alle the wordis of this lawe.

9 Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

And Moises and the preestis of the kynde of Leuy seiden to al Israel, Israel, perseyue thou, and here; to day thou art maad the puple of thi Lord God;

10 For this cause you are to give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and do his orders and his laws which I give you this day.

thou schalt here his vois, and thou schalt do `the comaundementis, and riytfulnessis, whiche Y comaunde to thee to dai.

11 That same day Moses said to the people,

And Moises comaundide to the puple in that day,

12 These are to take their places on Mount Gerizim for blessing the people when you have gone over Jordan: Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin;

and seide, These men schulen stonde on the hil of Garizym to blesse the Lord, whanne Jordan `is passid; Symeon, Leuy, Judas, Isachar, Joseph, and Benjamyn.

13 And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

And euene ayens these men schulen stonde in the hil of Hebal to curse, Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Neptalym.

14 Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

And the dekenes schulen pronounce, and schulen seie `with hiy vois to alle the men of Israel,
