Deuteronomy 27
1 And
Moses with the
elders of
Israel commanded the
people, saying,
Keep all the
commandments which I
command you this
day. 2 And it shall be on the
day when ye shall pass
over Jordan unto the
land which the
LORD thy
God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee
up great stones, and
plaister them with
plaister: 3 And thou shalt
write upon them all the
words of this
law, when thou art passed
over, that thou mayest go
in unto the
land which the
LORD thy
God giveth thee, a
land that
floweth with
milk and
honey; as the
LORD God of thy
fathers hath
promised thee.
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone
over Jordan, that ye shall set
up these
stones, which I
command you this
day, in
mount Ebal, and thou shalt
plaister them with
plaister.
5 And there shalt thou
build an
altar unto the
LORD thy
God, an
altar of
stones: thou shalt not lift
up any
iron tool upon them.
6 Thou shalt
build the
altar of the
LORD thy
God of
whole stones: and thou shalt
offer burnt
offerings thereon unto the
LORD thy
God: 7 And thou shalt
offer peace
offerings, and shalt
eat there, and
rejoice before the
LORD thy
God. 8 And thou shalt
write upon the
stones all the
words of this
law very plainly.
9 And
Moses and the
priests the
Levites spake unto all
Israel, saying, Take
heed, and
hearken, O
Israel; this
day thou art
become the
people of the
LORD thy
God. 10 Thou shalt therefore
obey the
voice of the
LORD thy
God, and
do his
commandments and his
statutes, which I
command thee this
day. 11 And
Moses charged the
people the same
day, saying,
12 These shall
stand upon
mount Gerizim to
bless the
people, when ye are come
over Jordan; Simeon, and
Levi, and
Judah, and
Issachar, and
Joseph, and
Benjamin: 13 And these shall
stand upon
mount Ebal to
curse; Reuben, Gad, and
Asher, and
Zebulun, Dan, and
Naphtali. 14 And the
Levites shall
speak, and
say unto all the
men of
Israel with a
loud voice, 15 Cursed be the
man that
maketh any
graven or molten
image, an
abomination unto the
LORD, the
work of the
hands of the
craftsman, and
putteth it in a
secret place. And all the
people shall
answer and
say,
Amen. 16 Cursed be he that setteth
light by his
father or his
mother. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 17 Cursed be he that
removeth his
neighbour's landmark. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 18 Cursed be he that maketh the
blind to
wander out of the
way. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 19 Cursed be he that
perverteth the
judgment of the
stranger, fatherless, and
widow. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 20 Cursed be he that
lieth with his
father's wife; because he
uncovereth his
father's skirt. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 21 Cursed be he that
lieth with any manner of
beast. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 22 Cursed be he that
lieth with his
sister, the
daughter of his
father, or the
daughter of his
mother. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 23 Cursed be he that
lieth with his mother in
law. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 24 Cursed be he that
smiteth his
neighbour secretly. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 25 Cursed be he that
taketh reward to
slay an
innocent person. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen. 26 Cursed be he that
confirmeth not all the
words of this
law to
do them. And all the
people shall
say,
Amen.
