立石頭寫誡命

27 摩西和以色列的長老吩咐人民:“你們要遵守我今日吩咐你們的一切誡命。 將來你們過約旦河,到了耶和華你的 神賜給你的土地的那一天,你要立起幾塊大石頭,墁上石灰。 你過河以後,要把這律法的一切話都寫在石頭上面,使你可以進入耶和華你的 神賜給你的土地,就是流奶與蜜的地,正如耶和華你列祖的 神應許你的。 所以,將來你們過了約旦河,就要在以巴路山上,照著我今日吩咐你們的,把這些石頭立起來,墁上石灰。 在那裡你要為耶和華你的 神築一座石壇,在石頭上你不可動鐵器。 你要用沒有鑿過的整塊石頭築耶和華你的 神的壇;在壇上你要獻上燔祭給耶和華你的 神; 又要獻上平安祭,並且在那裡吃喝;也要在耶和華你的 神面前歡樂。 你要把這律法的一切話,都清清楚楚寫在石頭上。”

摩西和利未支派的祭司對以色列眾人說:“以色列啊,要默默靜聽;今日你已經成為耶和華你的 神的子民了。 10 所以你要聽從耶和華你的 神的話,遵行他的誡命和律例,就是我今日吩咐你的。”

犯罪的必受咒詛

11 那天摩西又吩咐人民: 12 “你們過了約旦河以後,西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、約瑟、便雅憫等支派的人,要站在基利心山上為人民祝福; 13 流本、迦得、亞設、西布倫、但、拿弗他利等支派的人,要站在以巴路山上宣布咒詛的話。 14 利未人要向以色列眾人大聲說:

15 “‘製造耶和華厭惡的雕像或鑄像,工人手中做的,並且在暗處設立的,那人必受咒詛。’眾民都要應聲說:‘阿們。’

16 “‘輕慢父母的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

17 “‘移動鄰舍地界的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

18 “‘使瞎子走錯路的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

23 “‘和岳母同寢的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

24 “‘暗中殺害鄰舍的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

25 “‘接受賄賂殺人,流無辜人的血的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’

26 “‘不堅守這律法的話去遵行的,必受咒詛。’眾民都要說:‘阿們。’”

The Law Inscribed on Stones

27 Now Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: “Keep all the commandments which I command you today. And it shall be, on the day (A)when you cross over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, that (B)you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime. You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, (C)‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you. Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that (D)on Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime. And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; (E)you shall not use an iron tool on them. You shall build with [a]whole stones the altar of the Lord your God, and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and (F)rejoice before the Lord your God. And you shall (G)write very plainly on the stones all the words of this law.”

Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, “Take heed and listen, O Israel: (H)This day you have become the people of the Lord your God. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God, and observe His commandments and His statutes which I command you today.”

11 And Moses commanded the people on the same day, saying, 12 “These shall stand (I)on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin; 13 and (J)these shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14 “And (K)the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel: 15 (L)‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, [b]an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’
