When you have crossed the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster.
3 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee. And you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron. And there you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones.

6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God, you shall build an altar to the LORD your God of uncut stones. And you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God, Build the altar of the LORD your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.
7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and shall eat there, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God. Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
