Deuteronomy 27 · Grade 3

The Law in Plain Sight

Name Date

Read the Story

Moses and the elders told Israel to keep all God's commands. After crossing the Jordan, they must set up great stones on Mount Ebal. They must coat them with plaster. Then they must write all the words of the law very plainly.

There they must build an altar of stones. No iron tool could touch them. They would give offerings, eat there, and be glad before God. Moses said, Today you have become the people of God, so obey His voice.

Six tribes would stand on Mount Gerizim to bless. Six would stand on Mount Ebal for the curse. The Levites would call out curses on secret wrongs. Some made idols in secret. Some did not honor parents. Some moved a neighbor's landmark, led the blind astray, or took a bribe. All the people would answer, Amen.
