4 After you have gone across the Jordan, set up those stones on Mount Ebal. Put a coat of plaster on them. We're commanding you today to do that.
5 "Build an altar there to honor the Lord your God. Make it out of stones. Don't use any iron tool on them.
6 Use stones you find in the fields to build his altar. Then offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
7 Sacrifice friendship offerings there. Eat them and be filled with joy in the sight of the Lord your God.
8 "You must write all of the words of this law on the stones you have set up. Write the words very clearly."
9 Then the priests, who are Levites, and I spoke to all of the people of Israel. We said, "Israel, be quiet! Listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God.
10 Obey him. Follow his commands and rules that we're giving you today."
