Deuteronomy 27

Thomson(i) 1 Again Moses, with the senate of Israel, gave a charge, saying, You shall keep all these commandments which I this day command you. 2 When you have crossed the Jordan, into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee; thou shalt set up for thyself large stones, and plaister them with mortar, 3 and thou shalt write on those stones all the words of this law. Soon as you have crossed the Jordan; when you are come to the land which the Lord the God of thy fathers giveth thee; a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord the God of thy fathers promised thee, 4 you shall, immediately after your crossing the Jordan, set up these stones, which I this day command thee, at mount Garizin, and thou shalt plaister them with mortar, 5 and build there an altar to the Lord thy God; an altar of stones. Thou shalt not lift up a tool upon it. 6 Of unwrought stones thou shalt build the altar to the Lord thy God, and offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord thy God. 7 Then thou shalt offer there a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and when thou hast eaten, and art filled, and hast rejoiced before the Lord thy God; 8 then thou shalt write upon the stones all this law, in the plainest manner. 9 Then Moses with the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel. Thou art this day made a people for the Lord thy God; 10 therefore thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and perform all his commandments, and his rules of rectitude, which I this day command thee. 11 Then Moses gave a charge to the people that day, saying, 12 Having crossed the Jordan, these shall stand on mount Garizin to bless the people; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 13 And these shall stand at the curse on mount Gaibal, Reuben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthaleim: 14 and the Levites shall address all Israel, and say with a loud voice, 15 Cursed the man who shall make a graven, or molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of artists; though he set it up in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16 Cursed he who slighteth his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 17 Cursed he who removeth his neighbour's land mark. And all the people shall say, Amen. 18 Cursed he who leadeth the blind out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. 19 Cursed he who perverteth the judgment of the stranger, or the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. 20 Cursed he who lieth with his father's wife, because he hath uncovered his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. 21 Cursed he who lieth with any beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. 22 Cursed he who lieth with his sister, by the same father, or mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 23 Cursed he who lieth with his daughter in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. Cursed he who lieth with the sister of his wife. And all the people shall say, Amen. 24 Cursed he who smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. 25 Cursed he who taketh bribes to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. 26 Cursed be every man who will not persevere in all the words of this law, to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
