Deuteronomy 27:1-26 CSB
[1] Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, "Keep every command I am giving you today. [2] When you cross the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and cover them with plaster. [3] Write all the words of this law on the stones after you cross to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you. [4] When you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to cover them with plaster. [5] Build an altar of stones there to the LORD your God-do not use any iron tool on them. [6] Use uncut stones to build the altar of the LORD your God and offer burnt offerings to the LORD your God on it. [7] There you are to sacrifice fellowship offerings, eat, and rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God. [8] Write clearly all the words of this law on the plastered stones." [9] Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, "Be silent, Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God. [10] Obey the LORD your God and follow his commands and statutes I am giving you today." [11] On that day Moses commanded the people, [12] "When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes will stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. [13] And these tribes will stand on Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. [14] The Levites will proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite: [15] 'The person who makes a carved idol or cast image, which is detestable to the LORD, the work of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret is cursed.' And all the people will reply, 'Amen!' [16] 'The one who dishonors his father or mother is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [17] 'The one who moves his neighbor's boundary marker is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [18] 'The one who leads a blind person astray on the road is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [19] 'The one who denies justice to a resident alien, a fatherless child, or a widow is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [20] 'The one who sleeps with his father's wife is cursed, for he has violated his father's marriage bed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [21] 'The one who has sexual intercourse with any animal is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [22] 'The one who sleeps with his sister, whether his father's daughter or his mother's daughter is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [23] 'The one who sleeps with his mother-in-law is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [24] 'The one who secretly kills his neighbor is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [25] 'The one who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!' [26] 'Anyone who does not put the words of this law into practice is cursed.' And all the people will say, 'Amen!'
