¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write^(A) this on a scroll as something to be remembered and make sure that Joshua hears it, because I will completely blot out^(B) the name of Amalek^(C) from under heaven.”

²⁷ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write^(A) down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant^(B) with you and with Israel.” ²⁸ Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights^(C) without eating bread or drinking water.^(D) And he wrote on the tablets^(E) the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.^(F)

¹⁸ When he takes the throne^(A) of his kingdom, he is to write^(B) for himself on a scroll a copy^(C) of this law, taken from that of the Levitical priests.

³ 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,^(A) just as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you. ⁴ And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal,^(B) as I command you today, and coat them with plaster. ⁵ Build there an altar^(C) to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool^(D) on them. ⁶ Build the altar of the Lord your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. ⁷ Sacrifice fellowship offerings^(E) there, eating them and rejoicing^(F) in the presence of the Lord your God.^{(G) 8} And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones^(H) you have set up.”^(I)

¹⁹ “Now write^(A) down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness^(B) for me against them. ²⁰ When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,^(C) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods^(D) and worship them,^(E) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.^{(F) 21} And when many disasters and calamities come on them,^(G) this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do,^(H) even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” ²² So Moses wrote^(I) down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.

²³ The Lord gave this command^(J) to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous,^(K) for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you.”

²⁴ After Moses finished writing^(L) in a book the words of this law^(M) from beginning to end, ²⁵ he gave this command to the Levites who carried^(N) the ark of the covenant of the Lord: ²⁶ “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.^(O)
