Deuteronomy 27
1 Then Moses and the leaders of Israel charged the people as follows: "Keep all these commands that I am giving you today.
2 When you cross the Jordan River and enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster.
3 Then write all the terms of this law on them. I repeat, you will soon cross the river to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
4 When you cross the Jordan, set up these stones at Mount Ebal and coat them with plaster, as I am commanding you today.
5 Then build an altar there to the LORD your God, using natural stones.
6 Do not shape the stones with an iron tool. On the altar you must offer burnt offerings to the LORD your God.
7 Sacrifice peace offerings on it also, and feast there with great joy before the LORD your God.
8 On the stones coated with plaster, you must clearly write all the terms of this law."
9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests addressed all Israel as follows: "O Israel, be quiet and listen! Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.
10 So obey the LORD your God by keeping all these commands and laws that I am giving you today."
11 That same day Moses gave this charge to the people:
12 "When you cross the Jordan River, the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Mount Gerizim to proclaim a blessing over the people.
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Mount Ebal to proclaim a curse.
14 Then the Levites must shout to all the people of Israel:
15 `Cursed is anyone who carves or casts idols and secretly sets them up. These idols, the work of craftsmen, are detestable to the LORD.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
16 `Cursed is anyone who despises father or mother.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
17 `Cursed is anyone who steals property from a neighbor by moving a boundary marker.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
18 `Cursed is anyone who leads a blind person astray on the road.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
19 `Cursed is anyone who is unjust to foreigners, orphans, and widows.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
20 `Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with his father's wife, for he has violated his father.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
21 `Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with an animal.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
22 `Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with his sister, whether she is the daughter of his father or his mother.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
23 `Cursed is anyone who has sexual intercourse with his mother-in-law.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
24 `Cursed is anyone who kills another person in secret.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
25 `Cursed is anyone who accepts payment to kill an innocent person.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
26 `Cursed is anyone who does not affirm the terms of this law by obeying them.' And all the people will reply, `Amen.'
