Deuteronomy 27:1-7 ▼

1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, “Keep every command I am giving you today.

2 When you cross the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and cover them with plaster.

3 Write all the words of this law on the stones after you cross to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you.

4 When you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to cover them with plaster.

5 Build an altar of stones there to the LORD your God—do not use any iron tool on them.

6 Use uncut stones to build the altar of the LORD your God and offer burnt offerings to the LORD your God on it.

7 There you are to sacrifice fellowship offerings, eat, and rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God.
