Chapter 27

1

AND Mosheh with the elders of Yashar'el commanded the people, saying, Guard all the commandments which I command you this day.

2

And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Yardan unto the land which Yahuah Elohayka gives you, that you shall set up great stones, and plaister them with plaister:

3

And you shall write upon them all the words of this Torah, when you are passed over, that you may go in unto the land which Yahuah Elohayka gives you, a land that flows with milk and honey; as Yahuah Elohai of your fathers has promised you.

4

Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over the Yardan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Eyval, and you shall plaister them with plaister.

5

And there shall you build an altar unto Yahuah Elohayka, an altar of stones: you shall not lift up any iron tool upon them.

6

You shall build the altar of Yahuah Elohayka of whole stones: and you shall offer ascending smoke offerings thereon unto Yahuah Elohayka:

7

And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before Yahuah Elohayka.

8

And you shall write upon the stones all the words of this Torah very plainly.

9

And Mosheh and the priests the Leviyiym spoke unto all Yashar'el, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Yashar'el; this day you are become the people of Yahuah Elohayka.

10

You shall therefore obey the voice of Yahuah Elohayka, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day.

11

And Mosheh charged the people the same day, saying,

12

These shall stand upon Mount Geriziym to bless the people, when ye are come over the Yardan; Shim`on, and Leviy, and Yahudah, and Yisshakar, and Yoceph, and Binyamiyn:

13

And these shall stand upon Mount Eyval to curse; Re'uven, Gad, and Asher, and Zevulun, Dan, and Naphtaliy.

14

And the Leviyiym shall speak, and say unto all the men of Yashar'el with a loud voice,

15

Cursed be the man that makes any graven or molten image, an abomination unto Yahuah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and puts it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amein.

16

Cursed be he that sets light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amein.

17

Cursed be he that removes his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amein.

18

Cursed be he that makes the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amein.

19

Cursed be he that perverts the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amein.

20

Cursed be he that lies with his father's woman; because he uncovers his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amein.

21

Cursed be he that lies with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amein.

22

Cursed be he that lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amein.

23

Cursed be he that lies with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amein.

24

Cursed be he that smites his neighbor secretly. And all the people shall say, Amein.

25

Cursed be he that takes reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amein.

26

Cursed be he that confirms not all the words of this Torah to do them. And all the people shall say, Amein.
