These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 27

 1 Drawn (Moses) with the elders of God Prevails (Israel) commanded the people, saying: Keep all the commandments which I command you this day.

 2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over The Descender (Jordan) to the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives you, that you shall set up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

 3 You shall write upon them all the words of this law when you have passed over, that you may go into the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) gives you, a land that flows with milk and honey; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), the God (‘Elohim) of your fathers, has promised you.

 4 When you go over The Descender (Jordan) you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, at Bare Mountain (Ebal), and you shall plaster them with plaster.

 5 Build an altar there for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), an altar of stones: you shall not lift up any iron tool upon them.

 6 You shall build the altar of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym) of whole stones: and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym):

7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym).

 8 You shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

 9 So Drawn (Moses) and the priests the Children of Joined To (Levites) spoke to all God Prevails (Israel), saying: Take heed and listen, O God Prevails (Israel); this day you have become the people of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym).

 10 You shall therefore obey the voice of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God (‘Elohiym), and do His commandments and His statutes, which I command you this day.

 11 And Drawn (Moses) charged the people the same day, saying:

 12 These shall stand upon Mount Cutting Off (Gerizim) to bless the people, when you have crossed The Descender (Jordan) Heard (Simeon), Joined To (Levi), Praised (Judah), Recompense (Issachar), I AM Will Add (Joseph), and Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin):

 13 And these shall stand upon Bare Mountain (Ebal) to curse; Behold a Son (Reuben), Troop (Gad), Happy (Asher), Exalted (Zebulun), Judge (Dan), and Wrestling (Naphtali).

14 Then the Children of Joined To (Levites) shall speak, and say to all the men of God Prevails (Israel) with a loud voice,

 15 Cursed be the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say: Amen.

 16 Cursed is he that sets light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

17 Cursed is he that removes his neighbor’s landmark. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 18 Cursed is he that makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 19 Cursed is he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 20 Cursed is he that lies with his father's wife; because he uncovers his father's skirt. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 21 Cursed is he that lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 22 Cursed is he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 23 Cursed is he that lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 24 Cursed is he that smites his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 25 Cursed is he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say: Amen.

 26 Cursed is he that does not confirm all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say: Amen.
