# Chapter 27
|
||
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!’ |
