Deuteronomy 27:5-13 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

5. Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them.

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

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

8. You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very distinctly."

9. Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, "Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have become a people for the Lord your God.

10. You shall therefore obey the Lord your God, and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today."

11. Moses also charged the people on that day, saying,

12. "When you cross the Jordan, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13. For the curse, these shall stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
