1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: |Pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today. 2 When you cross the Jordan River to the land the LORD your God is giving you, you must erect great stones and cover them with plaster. 3 Then you must inscribe on them all the words of this law when you cross over, so that you may enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, said to you. 4 So when you cross the Jordan you must erect on Mount Ebal these stones about which I am commanding you today, and you must cover them with plaster. 5 Then you must build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones--do not use an iron tool on them. 6 You must build the altar of the LORD your God with whole stones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God. 7 Also you must offer fellowship offerings and eat them there, rejoicing before the LORD your God.
