1Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.1Moses and the elders of Israel gave these orders to the people: "Observe all of the commandments that I'm giving you today.
2And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster.2On the day you cross over the Jordan River to the land that the LORD your God is about to give you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster.
3Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.3Then inscribe on them all the words of this law when you've crossed over into the land that the LORD your God is about to give you—a land flowing with milk and honey—just as the LORD God of your ancestors promised you.
4And when you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to coat them with plaster.4"When you have crossed the Jordan River, set up these stones about which I'm commanding you today on Mount Ebal, and coat them with plaster.
5Moreover, you are to build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them.5Then build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones that hasn't been worked with iron tools.
6You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God.6Build the altar to the LORD your God with uncut stones, then offer a burnt offering to him.
7There you are to sacrifice your peace offerings, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.7Offer a burnt offering there, then eat and rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God.
8And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”8Inscribe on the stones plainly and distinctly all the words of this Law."
9Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God.9Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to Israel. They said, "Be quiet and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.
10You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”10Listen to his voice and carry out his commands and statutes that I'm giving you today."
11On that day Moses commanded the people:11Moses gave the people these commands that day:
12“When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.12"When you cross the Jordan River, these tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people—Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.13The tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali are to stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce the curse.
14Then the Levites shall proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:14The descendants of Levi are to declare in a loud voice to every Israeli:
