Deuteronomy 27:1-26 TLB

[1] Then Moses and the elders of Israel gave the people these further instructions to obey: [2] "When you cross the Jordan River and go into the Promised Land-a land 'flowing with milk and honey'-take out boulders from the river bottom and immediately pile them into a monument on the other side, at Mount Ebal. Face the stones with a coating of lime and then write the laws of God in the lime. [5] And build an altar there to the Lord your God. Use uncut boulders, and on the altar offer burnt offerings to the Lord your God. [7] Sacrifice peace offerings upon it also, and feast there with great joy before the Lord your God. [8] Write all of these laws plainly upon the monument." [9] Then Moses and the Levite-priests addressed all Israel as follows: "O Israel, listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God, [10] so today you must begin to obey all of these commandments I have given you." [11] That same day Moses gave this charge to the people: [12] "When you cross into the Promised Land, the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin shall stand upon Mount Gerizim to proclaim a blessing, [13] and the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali shall stand upon Mount Ebal to proclaim a curse. [14] Then the Levites standing between them shall shout to all Israel, [15] "'The curse of God be upon anyone who makes and worships an idol, even in secret, whether carved of wood or made from molten metal-for these handmade gods are hated by the Lord.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [16] "'Cursed is anyone who despises his father or mother.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [17] "'Cursed is he who moves the boundary marker between his land and his neighbor's.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [18] "'Cursed is he who takes advantage of a blind man.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [19] "'Cursed is he who is unjust to the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [20] "'Cursed is he who commits adultery with one of his father's wives, for she belongs to his father.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [21] "'Cursed is he who has sexual intercourse with an animal.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [22] "'Cursed is he who has sexual intercourse with his sister, whether she be a full sister or a half sister.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [23] "'Cursed is he who has sexual intercourse with his widowed mother-in-law.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [24] "'Cursed is he who secretly slays another.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [25] "'Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.' [26] "'Cursed is anyone who does not obey these laws.' And all the people shall reply, 'Amen.'
