Deuteronomy 27

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The elders of Israel and I gave commands to the people. We said, "Obey all of the commands we're giving you today.

2 "You will go across the Jordan River. You will enter the land the LORD your God is giving you. When you do, set up some large stones. Put a coat of plaster on them.

3 Write all of the words of this law on them. Do it when you have crossed over into the land the LORD your God is giving you. It's a land that has plenty of milk and honey. The LORD is the God of your fathers. He promised you that you would enter the land.

4 After you have gone across the Jordan, set up those stones on Mount Ebal. Put a coat of plaster on them. We're commanding you today to do that.

5 "Build an altar there to honor the LORD your God. Make it out of stones. Don't use any iron tool on them.

6 Use stones you find in the fields to build his altar. Then offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.

7 Sacrifice friendship offerings there. Eat them and be filled with joy in the sight of the LORD your God.

8 "You must write all of the words of this law on the stones you have set up. Write the words very clearly."

9 Then the priests, who are Levites, and I spoke to all of the people of Israel. We said, "Israel, be quiet! Listen! You have now become the people of the LORD your God.

10 Obey him. Follow his commands and rules that we're giving you today."

11 Here are the commands I gave the people that very day.

12 You will go across the Jordan River. When you do, I want six tribes to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people. Those tribes are Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.

13 I want the other six tribes to stand on Mount Ebal to announce some curses. Those tribes are Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

14 The Levites will speak to all of the people of Israel in a loud voice. They will say,

15 "May any man who makes a wooden or metal statue of a god and sets it up in secret be under the LORD's curse. That statue is made by a skilled worker. And the LORD hates it." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

16 "May anyone who brings shame on his father or mother be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

17 "May anyone who moves his neighbor's boundary stone be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

18 "May anyone who leads blind people down the wrong road be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

19 "May anyone who isn't fair in the way he treats outsiders, widows, and children whose fathers have died be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

20 "May any man who has sex with his stepmother be under the LORD's curse. That man brings shame on his father by doing that." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

21 "May anyone who has sex with animals be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

22 "May any man who has sex with his sister be under the LORD's curse. It doesn't matter whether she is his full sister or his half sister." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

23 "May any man who has sex with his mother-in-law be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

24 "May anyone who kills his neighbor secretly be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

25 "May anyone who accepts money to kill someone who isn't guilty of doing anything wrong be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

26 "May anyone who doesn't honor the words of this law by obeying them be under the LORD's curse." Then all of the people will say, "Amen!"

New King James Version NKJV

1 Now Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: "Keep all the commandments which I command you today.

2 And it shall be, on the day when you cross over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, that you shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime.

3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, 'a land flowing with milk and honey,' just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you.

4 Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that on Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime.

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

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

7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God.

8 And you shall write very plainly on the stones all the words of this law."

9 Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, "Take heed and listen, O Israel: This day you have become the people of the Lord your God.

10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of the Lord your God, and observe His commandments and His statutes which I command you today."

11 And Moses commanded the people on the same day, saying,

12 "These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin;

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

14 "And the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and say to all the men of Israel:

15 'Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret.'And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen!'

22 'Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.'And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'

23 'Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law.'And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'

24 'Cursed is the one who attacks his neighbor secretly.'And all the people shall say, 'Amen!'
