International Standard Version

1Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: "Keep all these commands that I give you today.

1Moses and the elders of Israel gave these orders to the people: "Observe all of the commandments that I'm giving you today.

2When you have crossed the Jordan into the land the LORD your God is giving you, set up some large stones and coat them with plaster.

2On the day you cross over the Jordan River to the land that the LORD your God is about to give you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster.

3Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

3Then inscribe on them all the words of this law when you've crossed over into the land that the LORD your God is about to give you—a land flowing with milk and honey—just as the LORD God of your ancestors promised you.

4And when you have crossed the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I command you today, and coat them with plaster.

4"When you have crossed the Jordan River, set up these stones about which I'm commanding you today on Mount Ebal, and coat them with plaster.

5Build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. Do not use any iron tool on them.

5Then build an altar there to the LORD your God, an altar of stones that hasn't been worked with iron tools.

6Build the altar of the LORD your God with fieldstones and offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD your God.

6Build the altar to the LORD your God with uncut stones, then offer a burnt offering to him.

7Sacrifice fellowship offerings there, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.

7Offer a burnt offering there, then eat and rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God.

8And you shall write very clearly all the words of this law on these stones you have set up."

8Inscribe on the stones plainly and distinctly all the words of this Law."

9Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the LORD your God.

9Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to Israel. They said, "Be quiet and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10Obey the LORD your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today."

10Listen to his voice and carry out his commands and statutes that I'm giving you today."

11On the same day Moses commanded the people:

11Moses gave the people these commands that day:

12When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.

12"When you cross the Jordan River, these tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people—Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

13And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.

13The tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali are to stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce the curse.

14The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:

14The descendants of Levi are to declare in a loud voice to every Israeli:
