The
Curses of Mount Ebal |
|
|
 |
| Deuteronomy 27:1 |
|
Then Moses and the elders of Israel charged
the people, saying, "Keep all the commandments which I command you today. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:2 |
|
So it shall be on the day when you cross the
Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set up for
yourself large stones and coat them with lime |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:3 |
|
and write on them all the words of this law,
when you cross over, so that you may enter the land which the LORD your God gives
you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers,
promised you. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:4 |
|
So it shall be when you cross the Jordan, you
shall set up on Mount Ebal, these stones, as I am commanding you today, and you
shall coat them with lime. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:5 |
|
Moreover, you shall build there an altar to
the LORD your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:6 |
|
You shall build the altar of the LORD your God
of uncut stones, and you shall offer on it burnt offerings to the LORD your God; |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:7 |
|
and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and
eat there, and rejoice before the LORD your God. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:8 |
|
You shall write on the stones all the words
of this law very distinctly." |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:9 |
|
Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to
all Israel, saying, "Be silent and listen, O Israel! This day you have become
a people for the LORD your God. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:10 |
|
You shall therefore obey the LORD your God,
and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today." |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:11 |
|
Moses also charged the people on that day, saying, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:12 |
|
"When you cross the Jordan, these shall stand
on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and
Benjamin. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:13 |
|
For the curse, these shall stand on Mount Ebal:
Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:14 |
|
The Levites shall then answer and say to all
the men of Israel with a loud voice, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:15 |
|
'Cursed is the man who makes an idol or a molten
image, an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and
sets it up in secret.' And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:16 |
|
'Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.'
And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:17 |
|
'Cursed is he who moves his neighbor's boundary
mark.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:18 |
|
'Cursed is he who misleads a blind person on
the road.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:19 |
|
'Cursed is he who distorts the justice due an
alien, orphan, and widow.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:20 |
|
'Cursed is he who lies with his father's wife,
because he has uncovered his father's skirt.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:21 |
|
'Cursed is he who lies with any animal.' And
all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:22 |
|
'Cursed is he who lies with his sister, the
daughter of his father or of his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:23 |
|
'Cursed is he who lies with his mother-in-law.'
And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:24 |
|
'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor in secret.'
And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:25 |
|
'Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to strike
down an innocent person.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 27:26 |
|
'Cursed is he who does not confirm the words
of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' |
