12. "These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13. And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

14. And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:

15. Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.

16. Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.

17. Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.

18. Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.

19. Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.
