돌에 기록된 율법
1그러고서 모세는 이스라엘 지도자들과 함께 백성들에게 이렇게 명령 하였다. “여러분은 내가 오늘 여러분에게 명령하는 모든 것을 지켜야 합니다.
2-4여러분이 요단강을 건너 여러분의 하나 님 여호와께서 주시는 기름지고 비옥한 땅에 들어갈 때 에발산에 큰 돌들을 세우고 석회를 칠한 다음 이 모든 법과 규정을 거기에 기록하십시오.
5-6그리고 여러분은 거기서 여러분의 하나 님 여호와를 위해 철 연장을 사용하지 말고 다듬지 않은 자연석으로 제단을 쌓고 여러분의 하나님 여호와께 불로 태워 바치는 번제를 드려야 합니다.
7또 여러분은 거기서 화목제를 드리고 여러분의 하나님 여호와 앞에서 먹고 즐거워하십시오.
8여러분은 그 돌들 위에 이 율법의 모든 말씀을 분명하게 기록해 두어야 합니다.”
9그런 다음 모세는 레위 제사장들과 함께 이스라엘 백성에게 이렇게 말하였다. “이스라엘 백성 여러분, 귀를 기울이고 잘 들으십시오. 여러분은 오늘 여러분의 하나님 여호와의 백성이 되었습니다.
10그러므로 여러분의 하나님 여호와께 순종하고 오늘 내가 여러분에게 가르친 명령과 규정을 지켜야 합니다.”
에발산에서 선포하는 저주
11바로 그 날 모세는 백성들에게 이렇게 명령하였다.
12“여러분이 요단강을 건너가면 시므온 지파, 레위 지파, 유다 지파, 잇사갈 지파, 요셉 지파, 베냐민 지파는 축복을 선포하기 위해 그리심산에 서고
13르우벤 지파, 갓 지파, 아셀 지파, 스불론 지파, 단 지파, 납달리 지파는 저주를 선포하기 위해 에발산에 서십시오.
14그리고 레위 사람들이 큰 소리로 백성에게 다음과 같이 외치면 백성들은 ‘아멘’ 하고 대답하십시오.
1And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. 2And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 3And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: 7And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the LORD thy God. 8And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.
9¶ And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 10Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
11¶ And Moses charged the people the same day, saying, 12These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: 13And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.27.13 to curse: Heb. for a cursing
14¶ And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 15Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 17Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen. 18Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wander out of the way. And all the people shall say, Amen. 19Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. 20Cursed be he that lieth with his father’s wife; because he uncovereth his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen. 21Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people shall say, Amen. 22Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen. 23Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. And all the people shall say, Amen. 24Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly. And all the people shall say, Amen. 25Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen. 26Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.
