Deuteronomy 27:1–10

¹Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.

²And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster. ³Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. ⁴And 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 coat them with plaster.

⁵Moreover, you are to build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them. ⁶You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God. ⁷There you are to sacrifice your peace offerings, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God. ⁸And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”

⁹Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God. ¹⁰You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”
