Deuteronomy 27:1-10 - Ceremonies

¹ And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, - Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day. ² So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, - that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster; ³ and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, - to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee. ⁴ So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, - and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. ⁵ And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, - an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron. ⁶ Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, - then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God; ⁷ and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, - and rejoice before Yahweh thy God. ⁸ And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well.

⁹ And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, - Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God. ¹⁰ Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, - and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.
