3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the Lord your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.
5 There you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.
6 You shall build the Lord your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
7 You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”
