11 And Moses commanded the people on the same day,
saying,
12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to
bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan:
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin;
13 and these shall stand on Mount
Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
14 “And the Levites shall speak with a loud voice and
say to all the men of Israel:
15 ‘Cursed
is the
one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the
Lord, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets
it
up in secret.’ “And all the people shall answer and say,
‘Amen!’
16 ‘Cursed
is the
one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.’ “And
all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
17 ‘Cursed
is the
one who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
18 ‘Cursed
is the
one who makes the blind to wander off the road.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
19 ‘Cursed
is the
one who perverts the justice due the stranger, the
fatherless, and widow.’
“And all the
people shall say, ‘Amen!’
20 ‘Cursed
is the
one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has
uncovered his father’s bed.’
“And all the
people shall say, ‘Amen!’
21 ‘Cursed
is the
one who lies with any kind of animal.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
22 ‘Cursed
is the
one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or
the daughter of his mother.’
“And all the people
shall say, ‘Amen!’
23 ‘Cursed
is the
one who lies with his mother-in-law.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
24 ‘Cursed
is the
one who attacks his neighbor secretly.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
25 ‘Cursed
is the
one who takes a bribe to slay an innocent person.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’
26 ‘Cursed
is the one who does not confirm
all the words of this law by observing them.’
“And all the people shall say,
‘Amen!’
