Deuteronomy

1 And Moses with the el­ders of Is­rael com­mand­ed the peo­ple, say­ing, Keep all the com­mand­ments which I com­mand you this day. 2 And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jor­dan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plais­ter them with plais­ter: 3 And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and hon­ey; as the LORD God of thy fa­thers hath promised thee. 4 There­fore it shall be when ye be gone over Jor­dan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I com­mand you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plais­ter them with plais­ter. 5 And there shalt thou build an al­tar unto the LORD thy God, an al­tar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6 Thou shalt build the al­tar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt of­fer burnt of­fer­ings there­on unto the LORD thy God: 7 And thou shalt of­fer peace of­fer­ings, and shalt eat there, and re­joice be­fore the LORD thy God. 8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plain­ly. 9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Is­rael, say­ing, Take heed, and hear­ken, O Is­rael; this day thou art be­come the peo­ple of the LORD thy God. 10 Thou shalt there­fore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his com­mand­ments and his statutes, which I com­mand thee this day. 11 And Moses charged the peo­ple the same day, say­ing, 12 These shall stand upon mount Ger­iz­im to bless the peo­ple, when ye are come over Jor­dan; Sime­on, and Levi, and Ju­dah, and Is­sachar, and Joseph, and Ben­jamin: 13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Ash­er, and Ze­bu­lun, Dan, and Naph­tali. 14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Is­rael with a loud voice, 15 Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten im­age, an abom­i­na­tion unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the crafts­man, and put­teth it in a se­cret place. And all the peo­ple shall an­swer and say, Amen. 16 Cursed be he that set­teth light by his fa­ther or his moth­er. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 17 Cursed be he that re­moveth his neighbour's land­mark. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 18 Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wan­der out of the way. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 19 Cursed be he that per­verteth the judg­ment of the stranger, fa­ther­less, and wid­ow. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 20 Cursed be he that li­eth with his father's wife; be­cause he un­cov­ereth his father's skirt. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 21 Cursed be he that li­eth with any man­ner of beast. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 22 Cursed be he that li­eth with his sis­ter, the daugh­ter of his fa­ther, or the daugh­ter of his moth­er. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 23 Cursed be he that li­eth with his moth­er in law. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 24 Cursed be he that smiteth his neigh­bour se­cret­ly. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 25 Cursed be he that taketh re­ward to slay an in­no­cent per­son. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen. 26 Cursed be he that con­firmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the peo­ple shall say, Amen.
