Deuteronomy 27:1-26 NET

[1] Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: "Pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today. [2] When you cross the Jordan River to the land the LORD your God is giving you, you must erect great stones and cover them with plaster. [3] Then you must inscribe on them all the words of this law when you cross over, so that you may 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, said to you. [4] So when you cross the Jordan you must erect on Mount Ebal these stones about which I am commanding you today, and you must cover them with plaster. [5] Then you must build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones-do not use an iron tool on them. [6] You must build the altar of the LORD your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God. [7] Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the LORD your God. [8] You must inscribe on the stones all the words of this law, making them clear." [9] Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: "Be quiet and pay attention, Israel. Today you have become the people of the LORD your God. [10] You must obey him and keep his commandments and statutes that I am giving you today." [11] Moreover, Moses commanded the people that day: [12] "The following tribes must stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim when you cross the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. [13] And these other tribes must stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. [14] "The Levites will call out to every Israelite with a loud voice: [15] 'Cursed is the one who makes a carved or metal image-something abhorrent to the LORD, the work of the craftsman-and sets it up in a secret place.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [16] 'Cursed is the one who disrespects his father and mother.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [17] 'Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor's boundary marker.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [18] 'Cursed is the one who misleads a blind person on the road.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [19] 'Cursed is the one who perverts justice for the resident foreigner, the orphan, and the widow.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [20] 'Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his father's former wife, for he dishonors his father.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [21] 'Cursed is the one who commits bestiality.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [22] 'Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his sister, the daughter of either his father or mother.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [23] 'Cursed is the one who goes to bed with his mother-in-law.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [24] 'Cursed is the one who kills his neighbor in private.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [25] 'Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!' [26] 'Cursed is the one who refuses to keep the words of this law.' Then all the people will say, 'Amen!'
