4 So it shall be when you cross the Jordan, you shall set up on Mount Ebal, these stones, as I am commanding you today, and you shall coat them with lime.
5 Moreover, you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not wield an iron tool on them.
6 You 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;
7 and you shall sacrifice peace offerings and eat there, and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very distinctly."
