1Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: "Pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today.1Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: "Keep all these commands that I give you today.
2When you cross the Jordan River to the land the LORD your God is giving you, you must erect great stones and cover them with plaster.2When you have crossed the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster.
3Then you must inscribe on them all the words of this law when you cross over, so that you may enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, said to you.3Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.
4So when you cross the Jordan you must erect on Mount Ebal these stones about which I am commanding you today, and you must cover them with plaster.4And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I command you today, and coat them with plaster.
5Then you must build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones--do not use an iron tool on them.5Build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool on them.
6You must build the altar of the LORD your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.6Build the altar of the LORD your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.
7Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the LORD your God.7Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
8You must inscribe on the stones all the words of this law, making them clear." 8And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up."
9Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: "Be quiet and pay attention, Israel. Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.9Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the LORD your God.
10You must obey him and keep his commandments and statutes that I am giving you today."10Obey the LORD your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today."
11Moreover, Moses commanded the people that day:11On the same day Moses commanded the people:
12"The following tribes must stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim when you cross the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.12When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.
13And these other tribes must stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 13And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
14"The Levites will call out to every Israelite with a loud voice:14The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:
