thy gates, and be filled;
[13] Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the
hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to
the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I
have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
[14] I have not eaten thereof in
my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for
the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that
thou hast commanded me.
[15] Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people
Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with
milk and honey.
[16] This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou
shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
[17] Thou hast avouched the
LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments,
and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
[18] And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be
his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
[19]
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and
that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.
Deut.27
[1] And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments
which I command you this day.
[2] And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the
land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them
with plaister:
[3] And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that
thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and
honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
[4] Therefore it shall be when ye be gone
over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou
shalt plaister them with plaister.
[5] And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar
of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them.
[6] Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy
God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God:
[7] And thou
shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God.
[8] And thou shalt
write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
[9] And Moses and the priests the Levites
spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of
the LORD thy God.
[10] Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments
and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
[11] And Moses charged the people the same day,
saying,
[12] These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin:
[13] And these shall stand upon mount
Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
[14] And the Levites shall speak,
and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
[15] Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or
molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it
in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
[16] Cursed be he that setteth light
by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[17] Cursed be he that removeth his
neighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[18] Cursed be he that maketh the blind to
wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[19] Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment
of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[20] Cursed be he that lieth
with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[21]
Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[22] Cursed be
he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people
shall say, Amen.
[23] Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[24]
Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[25] Cursed be he
that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
[26] Cursed be he that
confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
