1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, “Keep every command I am giving you today. 2 At the time you cross the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, you must 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 Yahweh, the God of your fathers, 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—you must 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.
