¹ Moshe and the Zakenim of Yisra'el commanded the people, saying, Keep all the mitzvah which I command you this day. ² It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Yarden to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster: ³ and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you. ⁴ It shall be, when you are passed over the Yarden, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount `Eval, and you shall plaster them with plaster. ⁵ There shall you build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron [tool] on them. ⁶ You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God: ⁷ and you shall sacrifice peace-offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God. ⁸ You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly. ⁹ Moshe and the Kohanim the Levites spoke to all Yisra'el, saying, Keep silence, and listen, Yisra'el: this day you are become the people of the LORD your God. ¹⁰ You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his mitzvot and his statutes, which I command you this day.

¹¹ Moshe charged the people the same day, saying, ¹² These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you are passed over the Yarden: Shim`on, and Levi, and Yehudah, and Yissakhar, and Yosef, and Binyamin. <sup>13</sup> These shall stand on Mount `Eval for the curse: Re'uven, Gad, and Asher, and Zevulun, Dan, and Naftali. ¹⁴ The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Yisra'el with a loud voice, ¹⁵ Cursed be the man who makes an engraved or molten image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.
