The Law Inscribed on Stones

1 Now Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: “Keep all the commandments which I command you today.
2 And it shall be, on the day awhen you cross over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, that byou shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime.  
3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you.  
4 Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that aon Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime.  
5 And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; ayou shall not use an iron tool on them.  
6 You shall build with whole stones the altar of the Lord your God, and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 27:3

All the words of this law - After all that has been said by ingenious critics concerning the law ordered to be written on these stones, some supposing the whole Mosaic law to be intended, others, only the decalogue, I am fully of opinion that the ( torah ) law or ordinance in question simply means the blessings and curses mentioned in this and in the following chapter; and indeed these contained a very good epitome of the whole law in all its promises and threatenings, in reference to the whole of its grand moral design. See at the end of this chapter, Deuteronomy 27:26 (note).
