La legge è scritta. Cerimonie cultuali

27 Mosè e gli anziani d'Israele diedero quest'ordine al popolo: «Osservate tutti i comandi che oggi vi do. ²Quando avrete passato il Giordano per entrare nel paese che il Signore vostro Dio sta per darvi, erigerai grandi pietre e le intonacherai di calce. ³Scriverai su di esse tutte le parole di questa legge, quando avrai passato il Giordano per entrare nel paese che il Signore tuo Dio sta per darti, paese dove scorre latte e miele, come il Signore, Dio dei tuoi padri, ti ha detto. ⁴Quando dunque avrete passato il Giordano, erigerete sul monte Ebal queste pietre, che oggi vi comando, e le intonacherete di calce. ⁵Là costruirai anche un altare al Signore tuo Dio, un altare di pietre non toccate da strumento di ferro. ⁶Costruirai l'altare del Signore tuo Dio con pietre intatte e sopra vi offrirai olocausti al Signore tuo Dio, ⁷offrirai sacrifici di comunione e là mangerai e ti gioirai davanti al Signore tuo Dio. ⁸Scriverai su quelle pietre tutte le parole di questa legge con scrittura ben chiara».

⁹Mosè e i sacerdoti leviti dissero a tutto Israele: «Fà silenzio e ascolta, Israele! Oggi sei divenuto il popolo del Signore tuo Dio. ¹⁰Obbedirai quindi alla voce del Signore tuo Dio e metterai in pratica i suoi comandi e le sue leggi che oggi ti do». ¹¹In quello stesso giorno Mosè diede quest'ordine al popolo: ¹²«Quando avrete passato il Giordano, ecco quelli che staranno sul mont Garizim per benedire il popolo: Simeone, Levi, Giuda, Issacar, Giuseppe e Beniamino; ¹³ecco quelli che staranno sul monte Ebal, per pronunciare la maledizione: Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zàbulon, Dan e Nèftali. ¹⁴I leviti prenderanno la parola e diranno ad alta voce a tutti gli Israeliti:

¹⁵Maledetto l'uomo che fa un'immagine scolpita o di metallo fuso, abominio per il Signore, lavoro di mano d'artefice, e la pone in luogo occulto! Tutto il popolo risponderà e dirà: Amen.

¹⁶Maledetto chi maltratta il padre e la madre! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

¹⁷Maledetto chi sposta i confini del suo prossimo! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²¹Maledetto chi si unisce con qualsiasi bestia! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²²Maledetto chi si unisce con la propria sorella, figlia di suo padre o figlia di sua madre! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²³Maledetto chi si unisce con la suocera! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²⁴Maledetto chi uccide il suo prossimo in segreto! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²⁵Maledetto chi accetta un regalo per condannare a morte un innocente! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²⁶Maledetto chi non mantiene in vigore le parole di questa legge, per metterla in pratica! Tutto il popolo dirà: Amen.

²And it shall be on the yom when ye shall pass over Yarden unto Ha’Aretz which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up avanim gedolot, and plaster them with plaster;

³And thou shalt write upon them kol divrei hatorah hazot, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto Ha’Aretz which Hashem Eloheicha giveth thee, Eretz zavat cholov udevash; as Hashem Elohei Avoteicha hath promised thee.

⁴Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Yarden, that ye shall set up these avanim, which I command you today, in Mt Eival, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.

⁸And thou shalt write very clearly upon the avanim kol divrei hatorah hazot.

⁹And Moshe and the kohanim who are Levi’im spoke unto kol Yisroel, saying, Take heed, and shema, Yisroel; today thou art become the people of Hashem Eloheicha.

¹⁰Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of Hashem Eloheicha, and do His mitzvot and His chukkim, which I command thee today.

¹³And these shall stand upon Mt Eival fot the curse: Reuven, Gad, and Asher, and Zevulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

¹⁴And the Levi’im shall speak, and say unto all the men of Yisroel with a loud voice,

¹⁵Arur (cursed) be the ish that maketh any pesel (graven image) or massekhah (molten image), a to’evah (abomination) unto Hashem, the work of the hands of the charash (craftsman), and sets it up in a secret place. And kol HaAm shall answer and say, Omein.
