The seventy elders, at the head of whom was Moses, which made the great sanhedrim, or council of the nation; Moses having recited all the laws of God to the people, these joined with him in an exhortation to them to observe and obey them:

keep all the commandments which I command you this day;

Deuteronomy 27:1 In-Context

1 praecepit autem Moses et seniores Israhel populo dicentes custodite omne mandatum quod praecipio vobis hodie

2 cumque transieritis Iordanem in terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi eriges ingentes lapides et calce levigabis eos

3 ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis huius Iordane transmisso ut introeas terram quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi terram lacte et melle manantem sicut iuravit patribus tuis

4 quando ergo transieritis Iordanem erige lapides quos ego hodie praecipio vobis in monte Hebal et levigabis calce

5 et aedificabis ibi altare Domino Deo tuo de lapidibus quos ferrum non tetigit
