Chapters
DEUT 27:1 And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.
DEUT 27:2 And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over with plaster,
DEUT 27:3 That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.
DEUT 27:4 Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster:
DEUT 27:5 And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,
DEUT 27:6 And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:
DEUT 27:7 And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.
DEUT 27:8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,
DEUT 27:9 And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.
DEUT 27:10 Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.
DEUT 27:11 And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:
DEUT 27:12 These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
DEUT 27:13 And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.
DEUT 27:14 And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
DEUT 27:15 Cursed be the man that maketh a graven and molten thing, the abomination of the Lord, the work of the hands of artificers, and shall put it in a secret place: and all the people shall answer and say: Amen.

DEUT 27:20 Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife, and uncovereth his bed: and all the people shall say: Amen.
DEUT 27:21 Cursed be he that lieth with any beast: and all the people shall say: Amen.
