Deuteronomy 27:1-10 - Ceremonies
1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people. They said: Keep all the commandments that I command you today. 2 This is the way it will be on the day when you cross the Jordan to the land that Jehovah your God gives you. You will set up for yourself large stones and coat them with lime 3 and write on them all the words of the Law. When you cross over to enter the land Jehovah your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, promised you. 4 When you cross the Jordan, you shall set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you shall coat them with lime. 5 Build an altar there to Jehovah your God. Build the altar of stones. Do not use an iron tool on them. 6 Build the altar of Jehovah your God of uncut stones. Offer on it burnt offerings to Jehovah your God 7 and sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before Jehovah your God. 8 Write on the stones all the words of the Law very distinctly.
9 Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel. They said: Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have become a people for Jehovah your God. 10 Obey Jehovah your God, and do his commandments and his statutes which I command you today.
