And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of Jehovah, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, the waters that come down from upstream, and they shall stand in a heap.

And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of Jehovah which He has spoken to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God.

And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will tithe to give a tithe to You.

And Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: Keep all the commandments which I am commanding you today.

And you shall write on them all the Words of this Law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which Jehovah your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as Jehovah the God of your fathers has promised you.

And there you shall build an altar unto Jehovah your God, an altar of stones; you shall not use an iron tool on them.

You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and rejoice before Jehovah your God.

And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and listen, O Israel: This day you have become the people of Jehovah your God.

And Moses charged the people on the same day, saying,

and these shall stand on Mount Ebal to curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Cursed is the one who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen!

Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the sojourner, the fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal. And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say, Amen!

Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to strike the blood of an innocent soul. And all the people shall say, Amen!

And Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, Thus far has Jehovah helped us.

Bless Jehovah, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:

Jehovah is in His holy temple; Jehovah's throne is in Heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids examine the sons of men.

But He answered and said to them, I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.

And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

Now the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the east border of Jericho.

And the twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
