27:1 And Moses and the elders of Israel
commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that command you this day.
27:2 And it shall come to pass in the day when ye shall cross over Jordan
into the land which the Lord thy God gives thee, that thou shalt set up for
thyself great stones, and shalt plaster them with plaster.
27:3 And thou shalt write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon
as ye have crossed Jordan, when ye are entered into the land, which the Lord
God of thy fathers gives thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, according
as the Lord God of thy fathers said to thee.
27:4 And it shall be as soon as ye are gone over Jordan, ye shall set up
these stones, which I command thee this day, on mount Gaebal, and thou shalt
plaster them with plaster.
27:5 And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, an altar of
stones; thou shalt not lift up iron upon it.
27:6 Of whole stones shalt thou build an altar to the Lord thy God, and thou
shalt offer upon it whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord thy God.
27:7 And thou shalt there offer a peace-offering; and thou shalt eat and be
filled, and rejoice before the Lord thy God.
27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all this law very plainly.
27:9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be
silent and hear, O Israel; this day thou art become a people to the Lord thy
God.
27:10 And thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do
all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command thee this day.
27:11 And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,
27:12 These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone
over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
27:13 And these shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal; Ruben, Gad, and
Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthali.
27:14 And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice,
27:15 Cursed [is] the man whosoever shall make a graven or molten image, an
abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of craftsmen, and shall put
it in a secret place: and all the people shall answer and say, So be it.
27:6 Cursed is the man that dishonours his father or his mother: and all the
people shall say, So be it.
27:17 Cursed is he that removes his neighbour's landmarks: and all the
people shall say, So be it.
27:18 Cursed is he that makes the blind to wander in the way: and all the
people shall say, So be it.
27:19 Cursed is every one that shall pervert the judgment of the stranger,
and orphan, and widow: and all the people shall say, So be it.
27:20 Cursed is he that lies with his father's wife, because he has
uncovered his father's skirt: and all the people shall say, So be it.
27:21 Cursed is he that lies with any beast: and all the people shall say,
So be it.
27:22 Cursed is he that lies with his sister by his father or his mother:
and all the people shall say, So be it.
27:23 Cursed is he that lies with his daughter-in-law: and all the people
shall say, So be it. Cursed is he that lies with his wife's sister: and all
the people shall say, So be it.
27:24 Cursed is he that smites his neighbour secretly: and all the people
shall say, So be it.
27:25 Cursed is he whosoever shall have taken a bribe to slay an innocent
man: and all the people shall say, So be it.
27:26 Cursed is every man that continues not in all the words of this law to
do them: and all the people shall say, So be it. |
27:1 And Moses with the elders of Israel
commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you
this day.
27:2 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:
27:3 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.
27:4 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.
27:5 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.
27:6 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:
27:7 And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice
before the LORD thy God.
27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very
plainly.
27:9 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.
27:10 Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his
commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
27:11 And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,
27:12 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:
27:13 And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and
Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
27:14 And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a
loud voice,
27:15 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.
