1Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.
2It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set you up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:
3and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you are passed over; that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4It shall be, when you are passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.
5There shall you build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron [tool] on them.
6You shall build the altar of Yahweh your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to Yahweh your God:
7and you shall sacrifice peace-offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.
