Deuteronomy 27:11-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. That day Moses charged the people, saying,

12. “When you have crossed over the Jordan, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

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

14. And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel in a loud voice:

15. “‘Cursed be the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an abomination to the Lord, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’

16. “‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
