1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day. 2 And it will happen in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster. 3 And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you have entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to you. 4 And it shall be as soon as you have gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. 5 And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it. 6 Of whole stones you will build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God. 7 And you shall there offer a peace-offering to the Lord your God; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God. 8 And you shall write upon the stones all this law very plainly. 9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, Israel; this day you have become a people to the Lord your God. 10 And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day. 11 And Moses charged the people on that day, saying, 12 These shall stand to bless the people on mount Gerizim having gone over Jordan; Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 13 And these shall stand for cursing on mount Ebal; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14 And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice, 15 Cursed is the man whoever shall make a carved or molten image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of craftsmen, and shall put it in a secret place: and all the people shall answer and say, So be it. 16 Cursed is the man that dishonors his father or his mother: and all the people shall say, So be it. 17 Anyone who removes his neighbor's landmarks is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 18 Anyone who makes the blind to wander in the way is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 19 Cursed is every one that shall pervert the judgment of the stranger, and orphan, and widow: and all the people shall say, So be it. 20 Anyone who has sex with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 21 Anyone who has sex with any beast is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 22 Anyone who has sex with his sister by his father or his mother is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 23 Anyone who has sex with his mother-in-law is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. Anyone who has sex with his wife's sister is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 24 Anyone who strikes his neighbor secretly is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 25 Anyone who takes a bribe to kill an innocent man is cursed: and all the people shall say, So be it. 26 Cursed is every man that does not continue in all the words of this law to do them:⁠a and all the people shall say, So be it.
