New International Version

Deuteronomy 27:5-13 New International Version (NIV)

5. Build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool on them.

6. Build the altar of the Lord your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.

7. Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord your God.

8. And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up.”

9. Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God.

10. Obey the Lord your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today.”

11. On the same day Moses commanded the people:

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

13. And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
