9. Then Moses and the Levitical kohanim spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, O Israel—this day you have become a people for Adonai your God.
10. Therefore listen to the voice of Adonai your God, and do His mitzvot and statutes that I am commanding you today.”
11. Moses commanded the people on that day saying,
12. “When you have crossed over the Jordan, these are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13. For the curse these are to stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14. “Then the Levites are to answer and say with a loud voice to every man of Israel:
15. ‘Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molten image—an abomination to Adonai, the work of a craftsman’s hands—and sets it up in secret.’ Then all the people are to answer and say, ‘Amen.’
16. ‘Cursed is the one who dishonors his father or mother.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
17. ‘Cursed is the one who removes his neighbor’s boundary marker.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
18. ‘Cursed is the one who misleads a blind person on the road.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
19. ‘Cursed is the one who twists justice for the outsider, orphan and widow.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
20. ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s nakedness.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
21. ‘Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
22. ‘Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
23. “Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
24. ‘Cursed is the one who strikes down his neighbor in secret.’ Then all the people are to say, ‘Amen.’
