Deuteronomy 27:3-5

Contemporary English Version

^2-4 (A) Soon you will enter the land that the Lord your God is giving to you. He is the God your ancestors worshiped, and he has promised that this land is rich with milk and honey.

After you cross the Jordan River, go to Mount Ebal. Set up large slabs of stone, then cover them with white plaster and write on them a copy of these laws.

^5 (B) At this same place, build an altar for offering sacrifices to the Lord your God. But don't use stones that have been cut with iron tools.
