Deuteronomy 27:4 - 9

It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster. There you shall build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them. You shall build the altar of Yahweh your God of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God. You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God. You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly." Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Be silence, and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of Yahweh your God.
