Deuteronomy 27:9-26

9Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! This day you have become a people for the Lord your God. 10So you shall 1obey the Lord your God, and do His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today.”

11Moses also commanded the people on that day, saying, 12“When you cross the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on 2Mount Gerizim to bless the people: 3Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 13For the curse, these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14The Levites shall then respond and say to all the people of Israel with a loud voice,

15‘Cursed is the person who makes 4a carved image or cast metal image, an abomination to the Lord, the work of the hands of a craftsman, and sets it up in secret.’ And 5all the people shall reply and say, ‘Amen.’

16‘6Cursed is one who treats his father or mother contemptuously.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

17‘7Cursed is one who displaces his neighbor’s boundary marker.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

18‘8Cursed is one who misleads a person who is blind on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

19‘9Cursed is one who distorts the justice due a stranger, an 10orphan, or a widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

20‘11Cursed is he who sleeps with his father’s wife, because he has 12uncovered his father’s garment.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

21‘13Cursed is one who has sexual intercourse with any animal.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

22‘14Cursed is he who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

23‘15Cursed is he who sleeps with his mother-in-law.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

24‘16Cursed is he who attacks his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

25‘17Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to attack an innocent person.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’

26‘18Cursed is anyone who does not fulfill the words of this Law by doing them.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
