9. And Moses and the priests of Levitical stock said to all of Israel: "Attend and listen, O Israel! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
10. You shall listen to his voice, and you shall do the commandments and justices, which I am entrusting to you."
11. And Moses instructed the people in that day, saying:
12. "These shall stand upon Mount Gerizim, as a blessing to the people, when you will have crossed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13. And in the opposite region, there shall stand upon Mount Ebal, as a curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14. And the Levites shall pronounce and declare to all the men of Israel, with an exalted voice:
15. Cursed be the man who makes a graven or molten idol, an abomination to the Lord, a work of the hands of its maker, and who puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall respond by saying: Amen.
16. Cursed be he who does not honor his father and mother. And all the people shall say: Amen.
17. Cursed be he who removes his neighbor's landmarks. And all the people shall say: Amen.
18. Cursed be he who causes the blind to go astray on a journey. And all the people shall say: Amen.
19. Cursed be he who subverts the judgment of the new arrival, the orphan, or the widow. And all the people shall say: Amen.
20. Cursed be he who lies with his father's wife, and so exposes the covering of his bed. And all the people shall say: Amen.
