Chapter 27
3and write on them all the words of this Law, when you cross over, so that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, promised you. 4So it shall be when you cross the Jordan, you shall set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you shall coat them with lime. 5Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them. 6You shall build the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones, and you shall offer on it burnt offerings to the Lord your God; 7and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God. 8You shall write on the stones all the words of this Law very clearly.'King James Version
Chapter 27
3And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5And there shalt thou build an altar unto the Lord thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6Thou shalt build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God: 7And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God. 8And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
3Write all the words of this law on the stones after you cross to enter the land 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. 4When you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to cover them with plaster. 5Build an altar of stones there to the Lord your God—do not use any iron tool on them. 6Use uncut stones to build the altar of the Lord your God and offer burnt offerings to the Lord your God on it. 7There you are to sacrifice fellowship offerings, eat, and rejoice in the presence of the Lord your God. 8Write clearly all the words of this law on the plastered stones."New Living Translation
Chapter 27
3Write this whole body of instruction on them when you cross the river 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. 4When you cross the Jordan, set up these stones at Mount Ebal and coat them with plaster, as I am commanding you today.
5Then build an altar there to the Lord your God, using natural, uncut stones. You must not shape the stones with an iron tool.
6Build the altar of uncut stones, and use it to offer burnt offerings to the Lord your God.
7Also sacrifice peace offerings on it, and celebrate by feasting there before the Lord your God.
8You must clearly write all these instructions on the stones coated with plaster.'
