Deuteronomy 27:1-3

New International Reader's Version

The Altar on Mount Ebal

27 Moses and the elders of Israel gave commands to the people. They said, “Obey all the commands we’re giving you today. ² You will go across the Jordan River. You will enter the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you do, set up some large stones. Put a coat of plaster on them. ³ Write all the words of this law on them. Do it when you have crossed over into the land the Lord your God is giving you. It’s a land that has plenty of milk and honey. The Lord is the God of your people of long ago. He promised you that you would enter the land.
