When you have crossed the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster.
|
| 27:3 |
Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you.
|
| 27:4 |
And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I command you today, and coat them with plaster.
|
| 27:5 |
Build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool upon them.
|
| 27:6 |
Build the altar of the LORD your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.

Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
|

And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up."

Then Moses and the priests, who are Levites, said to all Israel, "Be silent, O Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the LORD your God.
