Deuteronomy 27:3-13 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3. And you shall write on them all the words of this law when you have passed over, that you may go into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4. And when you have gone over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, as I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and coat them with plaster.

5. And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up any iron tool upon them.

6. You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to Him;

7. And you shall offer peace offerings, and eat there and rejoice before the Lord your God.

8. And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

9. And Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, Keep silence and hear, O Israel! This day you have become the people of the Lord your God.

10. So you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God and do His commandments and statutes which I command you today.

11. And Moses charged the people the same day, saying,

12. These [tribes] shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph's [sons], and Benjamin.

13. And these [tribes] shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce the curse [for disobedience]: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
