Command to Write the Law on Stones

Deuteronomy 27:1-8

Then Moshe and all the leaders of Isra'el gave orders to the people. They said, "Observe all the mitzvot I am giving you today.

When you cross the Yarden to the land ADONAI your God is giving you, you are to set up large stones, put plaster on them,

and, after crossing over, write this Torah on them, every word -so that you can enter the land ADONAI your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as ADONAI, the God of your ancestors, promised you.

When you have crossed the Yarden, you are to set up these stones, as I am ordering you today, on Mount 'Eival; and put plaster on them.

There you are to erect an altar to ADONAI your God, an altar made of stones. You are not to use any iron tool on them,

but are to build the altar of ADONAI your God of uncut stones; and you are to offer burnt offerings on it to ADONAI your God.

Also you are to sacrifice peace offerings, eat there and be joyful in the presence of ADONAI your God.
