1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all [of] the commandment which I command you{+} this day.

2 And it will be on the day when you{+} will pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you will set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

3 and you will write on them all the words of this law, when you pass over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 And it will be, when you{+} pass over the Jordan, that you{+} will set up these stones, which I command you{+} this day, in mount Ebal, and you will plaster them with plaster.

5 And there you will build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones: you will lift up no iron [tool] on them.

6 You will build the altar of Yahweh your God of uncut stones; and you will offer burnt-offerings on it to Yahweh your God:

7 and you will sacrifice peace-offerings, and will eat there; and you will rejoice before Yahweh your God.

8 And you will write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silent, and listen, O Israel: this day you have become the people of Yahweh your God.

10 You will therefore obey the voice of Yahweh your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.

11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

12 These will stand on mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you{+} pass over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

13 And these will stand on mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 And the Levites will answer, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

15 Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten image, a disgusting thing to Yahweh, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people will answer and say, Amen.

16 Cursed be he who dishonors his father or his mother. And all the people will say, Amen.

17 Cursed be he who removes his fellow man's landmark. And all the people will say, Amen.

18 Cursed be he who makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people will say, Amen.

19 Cursed be he who wrests the justice [due] to the sojourner, fatherless, and widow. And all the people will say, Amen.

20 Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, because he has uncovered his father's skirt. And all the people will say, Amen.

21 Cursed be he who lies with any manner of beast. And all the people will say, Amen.

22 Cursed be he who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people will say, Amen.

23 Cursed be he who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people will say, Amen.

24 Cursed be he who strikes his fellow man in secret. And all the people will say, Amen.

25 Cursed be he who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person. And all the people will say, Amen.

26 Cursed be he who does not confirm the words of this law to do them. And all the people will say, Amen.
