9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, "Be silent, Israel, and listen! You have now become the people of the Lord your God. 10 Obey the Lord your God and follow his commands and decrees that I give you today."
11
On the same day Moses commanded the people:
12
When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.
13
And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
14
The Levites shall recite to all the people of Israel in a loud voice:
15
"Cursed is anyone who makes an idol - a thing detestable to the Lord, the work of skilled hands - and sets it up in secret."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
16
"Cursed is anyone who dishonors their father or mother."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
17
"Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbor's boundary stone."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
18
"Cursed is anyone who leads the blind astray on the road."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
19
"Cursed is anyone who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
20
"Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his father's wife, for he dishonors his father's bed."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
21
"Cursed is anyone who has sexual relations with any animal."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
22
"Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
23
"Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his mother-in-law."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
24
"Cursed is anyone who kills their neighbor secretly."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
25
"Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
26
"Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out."
Then all the people shall say, "Amen!"
