Deuteronomy 27:3

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.

7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and ^arejoice before the Lord your God.
