King James Version, Updated™

(1) Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandments which I command YOU this day.

(2) And it shall be on the day when YOU shall cross over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set up great stones, and plaster them with plaster.

(3) You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land that flows with milk and honey, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you.

(4) Therefore it shall be when YOU have crossed over the Jordan, that YOU shall set up these stones, which I command YOU this day, on mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.

(5) And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall not use any iron tool on them.

(6) You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of whole uncut stones, and you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.

(7) And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God.

(8) You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

(9) Then Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Take heed, and listen, O Israel; this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

(10) You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

(11) And Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

(12) "These shall stand on mount Gerizim to bless the people, when YOU have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

(13) These shall stand on mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

(14) And the Levites shall speak, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice,

(15) 'Cursed is the man who makes any carved or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it in a secret place.' And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.'

(16) 'Cursed is he who dishonors his father or his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(17) 'Cursed is he who removes his neighbor’s landmark.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(18) 'Cursed is he who makes the blind to wander out of the road.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(19) 'Cursed is he who perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(20) 'Cursed is he who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed-clothing.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(21) 'Cursed is he who lies with any kind of animal.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(22) 'Cursed is he who 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 who lies with his mother in law.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(24) 'Cursed is he who attacks his neighbor secretly.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(25) 'Cursed is he who takes a bribe to kill an innocent person.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

(26) 'Cursed is he who does not confirm all the words of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
