Deuteronomy 27:1-14

[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  [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,  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  [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  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,
