Deuteronomy 27

VIN(i) 1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people. They said: "Keep all the commandments that I command you today. 2 On the day you cross over the Jordan River to the land that the LORD your God is about to give you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster. 3 and write on them all the words of the Law. When you cross over to enter the land the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you. 4 "When you have crossed the Jordan River, set up these stones about which I'm commanding you today on Mount Ebal, and coat them with plaster. 5 "Build an altar there to the LORD your God. Build the altar of stones. Do not use an iron tool on them. 6 "Build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones. Offer on it burnt offerings to the LORD your God 7 and sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God. 8 And you shall write all the words of this Law very plainly on the stones. 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. 10 "Obey the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes which I command you today." 11 That same day Moses said to the people, 12 "When you cross the Jordan, these will stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 13 And these shall stand upon Mount Ebal to pronounce the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 "The Levites will answer all the men of Israel with a loud voice: 15 Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it. 16 Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother! And all the people shall say, Amen! 17 "'Cursed is he who moves his neighbor's boundary mark. All the people will say: Amen. 18 'Cursed is he who leads the blind astray on the road.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 19 'Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 20 'Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife, because he dishonors his father's bed.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 21 'Cursed is the one who has sexual relations with any animal. "Then all the people will respond by saying, 'Amen!' 22 'Cursed be the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' 23 Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law! And all the people shall say, Amen! 24 Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor secretly! And all the people shall say, Amen! 25 'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 26 'Cursed is he who doesn't uphold the words of this law by doing them.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'”
