Deuteronomy 27:5-10

5Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you 1shall not 2wield an iron tool on them. 6You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of 3uncut stones, and you shall offer on it burnt offerings to the Lord your God; 7and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and 4rejoice before the Lord your God. 8You shall write on the 5stones all the words of this law very distinctly.”

9Then 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. 10You shall therefore 6obey the Lord your God, and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today.”
