Deuteronomy 27

Deuteronomy Chapter 27 KJV

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