The stones on Ebal
Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: Keep every commandment I'm giving you today. And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land the Lord your God is giving you, you'll set up great stones and plaster them with plaster. Write all the words of this law on them after you cross over, so you may enter the land the Lord your God is giving you — a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord God of your fathers promised you. So when you've gone over the Jordan, you'll set up these stones I'm commanding you today, on mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster. You'll build an altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't lift any iron tool on them. You'll build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones, and you'll offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. You'll offer peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God. You'll write all the words of this law on the stones very clearly. Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel: Be quiet and listen, Israel. Today you have become the people of the Lord your God. So you'll listen to the Lord your God and do his commandments and his rules that I'm commanding you today.
And Moses with the elders of Israel ordered the people: Keep every order I'm ordering you today. And on the day you go over the Jordan into the land the Lord your God is giving you, you'll set yourself up big stones and plaster them with plaster. And you'll write all the words of this teaching on them when you've gone over — so you go into the land the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, the way the Lord God of your fathers has promised you. So when you've gone over the Jordan, you'll set up these stones I'm ordering you today, on Mount Ebal, and plaster them with plaster. And you'll build an altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't lift any iron tool on them. You'll build the altar of the Lord your God with whole stones, and you'll offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God. And you'll offer peace offerings and eat there, and celebrate in front of the Lord your God. And you'll write all the words of this teaching on the stones very clearly. And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel: Be quiet and listen, Israel. Today you've turned into the people of the Lord your God. So you'll listen to the voice of the Lord your God and do his orders and his rules that I'm ordering you today.
And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.

The blessing and the curse
Moses commanded the people that day: These will stand on mount Gerizim to bless the people when you've gone over the Jordan — Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Joseph and Benjamin. These will stand on mount Ebal for the curse — Reuben, Gad and Asher and Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali. And the Levites will speak and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice: Cursed is the man who makes a carved or cast image, disgusting to the Lord, the work of a craftsman's hands, and sets it up in secret. And all the people will answer and say: Amen. Cursed is the one who makes light of his father or his mother. And all the people will say: Amen.
