Deuteronomy 27

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

And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that 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,

And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall 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 these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to 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:

And it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, 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,

And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.

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

Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God.

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

And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God.

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

And you shall write upon the stones all 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.

And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to the Lord your God.

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

And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day.
