Dvarim (Deuteronomy) - Chapter 27

27:1 Mosha and the elders of Yisrael commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day. 27:2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Yordan to the land which Mar-Yah your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: 27:3 and you shall write on them all the words of this Torah, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which Mar-Yah your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Mar-Yah, God of your fathers, has promised you. 27:4 It shall be, when you have passed over the Yordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. 27:5 There you shall build an altar to Mar-Yah your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron tool on them. 27:6 You shall build the altar of Mar-Yah your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to Mar-Yah your God: 27:7 and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before Mar-Yah your God. 27:8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this Torah very plainly."

27:9 Mosha and the priests the Levites spoke to all Yisrael, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Yisrael: this day you have become the people of Mar-Yah your God. 27:10 You shall therefore obey the voice of Mar-Yah your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

27:11 Mosha commanded the people the same day, saying, 27:12 "These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Yordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Yudah, and Issachar, and Yoseph, and Benyamin. 27:13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 27:14 The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Yisrael with a loud voice, 27:15 'Cursed is the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to Mar-Yah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.' All the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.' 27:16 'Cursed is he who sets light by his father or his mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:17 'Cursed is he who removes his neighbour's landmark.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:18 'Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the way.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:19 'Cursed is he who wrests the justice due to the foreigner, fatherless, and widow.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:20 'Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:21 'Cursed is he who lies with any manner of animal.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:22 'Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:23 'Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:24 'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbour in secret.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:25 'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.' 27:26 'Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this Torah to do them.' All the people shall say, 'Amen.'"
