Deuteronomy 27:1-8
1
Then Moses with the Elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keepe all the comandements, which I command you this day.
2
And when ye shall passe ouer Iorden vnto the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee, thou shalt set thee vp great stones, and playster them with plaister,
3
And shalt write vpon them all the words of this Lawe, when thou shalt come ouer, that thou mayest go into the land which the Lord thy God giueth thee: a land that floweth with milke and hony, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath promised thee.
4
Therefore when ye shall passe ouer Iorden, ye shall set vp these stones, which I command you this daye in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.
5
And there shalt thou build vnto the Lord thy God an altar, euen an altar of stones: thou shalt lift none yron instrument vpon them.
6
Thou shalt make the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones, and offer burnt offerings thereon vnto the Lord thy God.
7
And thou shalt offer peace offrings, and shalt eate there and reioyce before the Lord thy God:
8
And thou shalt write vpon the stones al the words of this Law, well and plainely.
