5. And thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,

6. And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:

7. And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.

8. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,

9. And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.

10. Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.

11. And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:

12. These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13. And over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.

14. And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:

15. Cursed be the man that maketh a graven and molten thing, the abomination of the Lord, the work of the hands of artificers, and shall put it in a secret place: and all the people shall answer and say: Amen.

16. Cursed be he that honoureth not his father and mother: and all the people shall say: Amen.
