Chapter 27
1 And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment that I command you this day.
2 And when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord your God will give you, you shall set up great stones, and shall plaster them over with plaster,
3 That you may write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed over the Jordan: that you may enter into the land which the Lord your God will give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to your fathers.
4 Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster:
5 And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, of stones which iron has not touched,
6 And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and you shall offer upon it holocausts to the Lord your God:
7 And shall immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord your God.
8 And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,
9 And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day you are made the people of the Lord your God.
10 You shall hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command you.
11 And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:
12 These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.
14 And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
15 Cursed be the man that makes 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.
16 Cursed be he that honours not his father and mother: and all the people shall say: Amen.
17 Cursed be he that removes his neighbour's landmarks: and all the people shall say: Amen.
18 Cursed be he that makes the blind to wander out of his way: and all the people shall say: Amen.
19 Cursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, of the fatherless and the widow: and all the people shall say: Amen.
20 Cursed be he that lies with his father's wife, and uncovers his bed: and all the people shall say: Amen.
21 Cursed be he that lies with any beast: and all the people shall say: Amen.
22 Cursed be he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or of his mother: and all the people shall say: Amen.
23 Cursed be he that lies with his mother in law: and all the people shall say: Amen.
24 Cursed be he that secretly kills his neighbour: and all the people shall say: Amen.
25 Cursed be he that takes gifts, to slay an innocent person: and all the people shall say: Amen.
26 Cursed be he that abides not in the words of this law, and fulfils them not in work: and all the people shall say: Amen.
