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.
8You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you are become the people of Yahweh your God.
