6. Build the altar of the Lord your God with stones from the field. Offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
7. Offer fellowship offerings there. Eat them and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8. Then write clearly all the words of these teachings on the stones.”
9. Then Moses and the Levites, who are the priests, spoke to all Israel. They said, “Be quiet, Israel. Listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
10. Obey the Lord your God. Keep his commands and laws that I give you today.”
11. That day Moses also gave the people this command:
12. You will cross the Jordan River. Then these tribes must stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.
13. And these tribes must stand on Mount Ebal to announce the curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
14. The Levites will say to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:
15. “Anyone will be cursed who makes an idol or statue and secretly sets it up. The Lord hates idols made by man.”Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
16. “Anyone will be cursed who dishonors his father or his mother.”Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
17. “Anyone will be cursed who moves the stone that marks his neighbor’s border.”Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
18. “Anyone will be cursed who leads a blind person away from the road.”Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
19. “Anyone will be cursed who is unfair to foreigners, orphans or widows.”Then all the people will say, “Amen!”
