Deuteronomy 27:7-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and shall eat there, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.

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

9. Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the Lord your God.

10. You shall therefore obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”

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.’
