1Moses stod sammen med Israels ledere og sagde til folket: „Husk at adlyde alle de befalinger, jeg pålægger jer i dag.2Når I går over Jordanfloden og kommer ind i det land, Herren, jeres Gud, har lovet jer, et land, der ‚flyder med mælk og honning’, skal I tage nogle store sten fra floden og senere stille dem op på Ebals bjerg. Stenene skal I stryge over med kalk, og I skal skrive Herrens love i kalken.5Samtidig skal I bygge et alter af utilhugne kampesten og ofre brændofre og takofre til Herren, og I skal feste og glæde jer for hans ansigt.8Glem ikke at skrive de her love på de kalkede sten med tydelig skrift.”9Derefter sagde Moses på præsternes vegne til hele folket: „Hør efter, Israels folk! I dag er pagten mellem jer og Herren, jeres Gud, blevet bekræftet.10Adlyd nu alle hans befalinger, som jeg har givet jer.”
Dramaet på Ebals og Garizims bjergsider
11Samme dag sagde Moses til folket:12„Når I er kommet over på den anden side af Jordanfloden, skal Simeons, Levis, Judas, Issakars, Josefs og Benjamins stammer stille sig op på Garizims bjergside som tegn på, at Herren vil velsigne dem, der holder sig pagten for øje,13mens Rubens, Gads, Ashers, Zebulons, Dans og Naftalis stammer skal stille sig op på Ebals bjergside som tegn på, at Herren vil dømme dem, der vender ryggen til pagten.*14Levitterne* skal så med høj røst erklære over for hele Israels folk:15‚Herren afskyr afgudsdyrkelse, og han vil dømme enhver, der laver støbte eller udskårne afgudsbilleder og i al hemmelighed stiller dette menneskeværk op!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’16‚Guds dom over enhver, der ringeagter sin far eller mor!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’17‚Guds dom over enhver, der flytter markskellet mellem sin og sin nabos jord!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’18‚Guds dom over enhver, der leder den blinde vild!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’19‚Guds dom over enhver, der behandler de fremmede, enkerne eller de forældreløse uretfærdigt!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’20‚Guds dom over enhver, der står i forhold til sin fars kone!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’21‚Guds dom over enhver, der har seksuel omgang med dyr!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’22‚Guds dom over enhver, der står i forhold til sin søster eller halvsøster!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’23‚Guds dom over enhver, der står i forhold til sin svigermor!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’24‚Guds dom over enhver, der med overlæg slår et andet menneske ihjel!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’25‚Guds dom over enhver, der tager imod betaling for at slå et andet menneske ihjel!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’26‚Guds dom over enhver, der ikke holder fast ved og handler efter ordene i denne lovbog!’ Og folket skal svare: ‚Ja, bestemt!’ ”

The Altar on Mount Ebal
1Now Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep the whole commandment that I command you today.2And on the day you cross over the Jordan to the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall set up large stones and plaster them with plaster.3And you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you cross over to enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you.4And when you have crossed over the Jordan, you shall set up these stones, concerning which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.5And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. You shall wield no iron tool on them;6you shall build an altar to the Lord your God of uncut* stones. And you shall offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God,7and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and shall eat there, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.8And you shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
Curses from Mount Ebal
9Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the Lord your God.10You shall therefore obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”11That day Moses charged the people, saying,12“When you have crossed over the Jordan, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.13And these shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.14And the Levites shall declare to all the men of Israel in a loud voice:15“‘Cursed be the man who makes a carved or cast metal image, an abomination to the Lord, a thing made by the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And all the people shall answer and say, ‘Amen.’16“‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’17“‘Cursed be anyone who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’18“‘Cursed be anyone who misleads a blind man on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’19“‘Cursed be anyone who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’20“‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s nakedness.’* And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’21“‘Cursed be anyone who lies with any kind of animal.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’22“‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his sister, whether the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’23“‘Cursed be anyone who lies with his mother-in-law.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’24“‘Cursed be anyone who strikes down his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’25“‘Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’26“‘Cursed be anyone who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
