Chapter 27
|
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 plaster them with
plaster: |
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, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. |
5
|
And there shalt 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 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 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 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, |
15
|
Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image,
an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of
the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all
the people shall answer and say, Amen. |
16
|
Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his
mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. |
17
|
Cursed be he that removeth his neighbor's landmark. And
all the people shall say, Amen. |
18
|
Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the
way. And all the people shall say, Amen. |
19
|
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger,
fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. |
20
|
Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because
he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall
say, Amen. |
21
|
Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And
all the people shall say, Amen. |
22
|
Cursed be he that 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 that lieth with his mother in law. And all
the people shall say, Amen. |
24
|
Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbor secretly. And
all the people shall say, Amen. |
25
|
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person.
And all the people shall say, Amen. |
26
|
Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this
law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen. |
