2 On the day you cross the River Jordan and enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you are to set up some large stones, cover them with plaster,
3 and write on them all these laws and teachings. When you have entered the rich and fertile land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, promised you,
4 and you are on the other side of the Jordan, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am instructing you today, and cover them with plaster.
5 Build an altar there made of stones that have had no iron tools used on them,
6 because any altar you build for the Lord your God must be made of uncut stones. There you are to offer the sacrifices that are to be burnt,
7 and there you are to sacrifice and eat your fellowship offerings and be grateful in the presence of the Lord your God.
8 On the stones covered with plaster write clearly every word of God's laws.”
