Deuteronomy
Chapter
27
1-8~~And
Moses
with
the elders of Israel
commanded
the people, saying,
"Keep
all the commandments
which
I command you this day. 2~~
And
it shall be on the day
when
you shall pass over Jordan {the Jordan River}
unto
the land which Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you,
that
you shall set you up great stones,
and
plaster them with plaster 3~~
{see Joshua 8:30 and following for the accomplishment of this}.
And
you shall write upon them
all
the words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar} of this law,
when
you are passed over,
that
you may go in unto the land
which
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead gives you,
a
land that flows with milk and honey
{idiom for prosperity}
as
Jehovah/God . . . 'Elohiym/Godhead
of
your fathers has promised you. 4~~
Therefore
it shall be
when
you have gone over Jordan,
that
you shall set up these stones,
which
I command you this day,
in
mount Ebal {name means cursing},
and
you shall plaster them with plaster. 5~~
And
there shall you build an altar
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
an
altar of stones.
You
shall not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6~~
You
shall build the altar of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead
of
whole stones.
And
you shall offer burnt offerings thereon
unto
Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead. 7~~
And
you shall offer peace offerings,
and
shall eat there,
and
rejoice before Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead. 8~~
And
you shall write upon the stones
all
the words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar}
of
this law very plainly."
9-10~~And
Moses and the priests the Levites
spoke
unto all Israel, saying,
"Take
heed,
and
'hear, listen and obey' {shama'} ,
O
Israel,
this
day you have become
the
people of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead. 10~~
You
shall therefore
obey
the voice of Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead,
and
do His commandments and His statutes,
which
I command you this day."
11~~And
Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12~~
"These
shall stand upon mount Gerizim
{means the mount of blessing}
to
bless the people,
when
you are come over Jordan;
Simeon,
and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin
{these are the blessed tribes}. 13~~
And
these shall stand upon mount Ebal
{means mount of cursing}
to
curse
Reuben,
Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali
{Reuben lost his birthright. Dan is heavy in idolatry}. 14~~
And
the Levites shall speak,
and
say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice:15~~
