27 And Moshe with the zekenim of Yisroel commanded the people, saying, Be shomer over all the mitzvot which I command you today.

And 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;

And 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.

Therefore 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.

And there shalt thou build a mizbe’ach unto Hashem Eloheicha, a mizbe’ach of avanim; thou shalt not use any barzel (iron [tool]) upon them.

Thou shalt build the mizbe’ach of Hashem Eloheicha of avanim shleimot (uncut stones); and thou shalt offer olot thereon unto Hashem Eloheicha;

And thou shalt offer shelamim, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before Hashem Eloheicha.

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

And 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.

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

11 And Moshe charged the people the same yom, saying,

12 These shall stand upon Mt Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Yarden; Shimeon, and Levi, and Yehudah, and Yissakhar, and Yosef, and Binyamin;

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

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

15 Arur (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.

16 Arur (cursed) be he that treats with contempt aviv or immo. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

17 Arur (cursed) be he that moveth his neighbor’s boundary marker. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

18 Arur (cursed) be he that maketh the ivver (blind) to wander out of the way. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

19 Arur (cursed) be he that perverteth the mishpat of the ger, yatom, and almanah. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

20 Arur (cursed) be he that lieth with eshet aviv (his father’s wife); because he uncovereth the robe of his father. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

21 Arur be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

22 Arur be he that lieth with his achot, the bat aviv, or the bat immo. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

23 Arur be he that lieth with his chotenet (mother-in-law). And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

24 Arur be he that attacks his re’a (neighbor) secretly. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

25 Arur be he that taketh shochad (bribe, reward) to slay the nefesh dahm naki. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein.

26 Arur be he that confirmeth not divrei haTorah hazot by doing them. And kol HaAm shall say, Omein. [Ga 3:10]

27 Moïse et les anciens d'Israël donnèrent cet ordre au peuple: Observez tous les commandements que je vous prescris aujourd'hui.

Lorsque vous aurez passé le Jourdain, pour entrer dans le pays que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, tu dresseras de grandes pierres, et tu les enduiras de chaux.

Tu écriras sur ces pierres toutes les paroles de cette loi, lorsque tu auras passé le Jourdain, pour entrer dans le pays que l'Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne, pays où coulent le lait et le miel, comme te l'a dit l'Éternel, le Dieu de tes pères.

Lorsque vous aurez passé le Jourdain, vous dresserez sur le mont Ébal ces pierres que je vous ordonne aujourd'hui de dresser, et tu les enduiras de chaux.

Là, tu bâtiras un autel à l'Éternel, ton Dieu, un autel de pierres, sur lesquelles tu ne porteras point le fer;

tu bâtiras en pierres brutes l'autel de l'Éternel, ton Dieu. Tu offriras sur cet autel des holocaustes à l'Éternel, ton Dieu;

tu offriras des sacrifices d'actions de grâces, et tu mangeras là et te réjouiras devant l'Éternel, ton Dieu.

Tu écriras sur ces pierres toutes les paroles de cette loi, en les gravant bien nettement.

Moïse et les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, parlèrent à tout Israël, et dirent: Israël, sois attentif et écoute! Aujourd'hui, tu es devenu le peuple de l'Éternel, ton Dieu.

10 Tu obéiras à la voix de l'Éternel, ton Dieu, et tu mettras en pratique ses commandements et ses lois que je le prescris aujourd'hui.

11 Le même jour, Moïse donna cet ordre au peuple:

12 Lorsque vous aurez passé le Jourdain, Siméon, Lévi, Juda, Issacar, Joseph et Benjamin, se tiendront sur le mont Garizim, pour bénir le peuple;

13 et Ruben, Gad, Aser, Zabulon, Dan et Nephthali, se tiendront sur le mont Ébal, pour prononcer la malédiction.

14 Et les lévites prendront la parole, et diront d'une voix haute à tout Israël:

15 Maudit soit l'homme qui fait une image taillée ou une image en fonte, abomination de l'Éternel, oeuvre des mains d'un artisan, et qui la place dans un lieu secret! Et tout le peuple répondra, et dira: Amen!

16 Maudit soit celui qui méprise son père et sa mère! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

17 Maudit soit celui qui déplace les bornes de son prochain! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

18 Maudit soit celui qui fait égarer un aveugle dans le chemin! Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

19 Maudit soit celui qui porte atteinte au droit de l'étranger, de l'orphelin et de la veuve! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

20 Maudit soit celui qui couche avec la femme de son père, car il soulève la couverture de son père! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

21 Maudit soit celui qui couche avec une bête quelconque! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

22 Maudit soit celui qui couche avec sa soeur, fille de son père ou fille de sa mère! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

23 Maudit soit celui qui couche avec sa belle-mère! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

24 Maudit soit celui qui frappe son prochain en secret! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

25 Maudit soit celui qui reçoit un présent pour répandre le sang de l'innocent! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

26 Maudit soit celui qui n'accomplit point les paroles de cette loi, et qui ne les met point en pratique! -Et tout le peuple dira: Amen!

The Altar on Mount Ebal

27 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all these commands(A) that I give you today. When you have crossed the Jordan(B) into the land the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones(C) and coat them with plaster.(D) Write 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,(E) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal,(F) as I command you today, and coat them with plaster. Build there an altar(G) to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool(H) on them. Build the altar of the Lord your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. Sacrifice fellowship offerings(I) there, eating them and rejoicing(J) in the presence of the Lord your God.(K) And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones(L) you have set up.”(M)

Curses From Mount Ebal

Then Moses and the Levitical(N) priests said to all Israel, “Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God.(O) 10 Obey the Lord your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today.”

12 When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim(P) to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar,(Q) Joseph and Benjamin.(R) 13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal(S) to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

14 The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:

Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”(V)
