1 καὶ προσέταξεν μωυσῆς καὶ ἡ γερουσία ισραηλ λέγων φυλάσσεσθε πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς ταύτας ὅσας ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν σήμερον

2 καὶ ἔσται ᾗ ἂν ἡμέρᾳ διαβῆτε τὸν ιορδάνην εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεός σου δίδωσίν σοι καὶ στήσεις σεαυτῷ λίθους μεγάλους καὶ κονιάσεις αὐτοὺς κονίᾳ

3 καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων πάντας τοὺς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τούτου ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν ιορδάνην ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου δίδωσίν σοι γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σού σοι

4 καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν ιορδάνην στήσετε τοὺς λίθους τούτους οὓς ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον ἐν ὄρει γαιβαλ καὶ κονιάσεις αὐτοὺς κονίᾳ

5 καὶ οἰκοδομήσεις ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου θυσιαστήριον ἐκ λίθων οὐκ ἐπιβαλεῖς ἐπ' αὐτοὺς σίδηρον

6 λίθους ὁλοκλήρους οἰκοδομήσεις θυσιαστήριον κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ ἀνοίσεις ἐπ' αὐτὸ ὁλοκαυτώματα κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου

7 καὶ θύσεις ἐκεῖ θυσίαν σωτηρίου κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου καὶ φάγῃ καὶ ἐμπλησθήσῃ καὶ εὐφρανθήσῃ ἐναντίον κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου

8 καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων πάντα τὸν νόμον τοῦτον σαφῶς σφόδρα

9 καὶ ἐλάλησεν μωυσῆς καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς οἱ λευῖται παντὶ ισραηλ λέγοντες σιώπα καὶ ἄκουε ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ γέγονας εἰς λαὸν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ σου

10 καὶ εἰσακούσῃ τῆς φωνῆς κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ σου καὶ ποιήσεις πάσας τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ δικαιώματα αὐτοῦ ὅσα ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαί σοι σήμερον

11 καὶ ἐνετείλατο μωυσῆς τῷ λαῷ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων

12 οὗτοι στήσονται εὐλογεῖν τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὄρει γαριζιν διαβάντες τὸν ιορδάνην συμεων λευι ιουδας ισσαχαρ ιωσηφ καὶ βενιαμιν

13 καὶ οὗτοι στήσονται ἐπὶ τῆς κατάρας ἐν ὄρει γαιβαλ ρουβην γαδ καὶ ασηρ ζαβουλων δαν καὶ νεφθαλι

14 καὶ ἀποκριθέντες οἱ λευῖται ἐροῦσιν παντὶ ισραηλ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ

15 ἐπικατάρατος ἄνθρωπος ὅστις ποιήσει γλυπτὸν καὶ χωνευτόν βδέλυγμα κυρίῳ ἔργον χειρῶν τεχνίτου καὶ θήσει αὐτὸ ἐν ἀποκρύφῳ καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐροῦσιν γένοιτο

16 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ ἀτιμάζων πατέρα αὐτοῦ ἢ μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

17 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ μετατιθεὶς ὅρια τοῦ πλησίον καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

18 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ πλανῶν τυφλὸν ἐν ὁδῷ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

19 ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν ἐκκλίνῃ κρίσιν προσηλύτου καὶ ὀρφανοῦ καὶ χήρας καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

20 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ γυναικὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἀπεκάλυψεν συγκάλυμμα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

21 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ παντὸς κτήνους καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

22 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ ἀδελφῆς ἐκ πατρὸς ἢ ἐκ μητρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

23 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ πενθερᾶς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο ἐπικατάρατος ὁ κοιμώμενος μετὰ ἀδελφῆς γυναικὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

24 ἐπικατάρατος ὁ τύπτων τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ δόλῳ καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

25 ἐπικατάρατος ὃς ἂν λάβῃ δῶρα πατάξαι ψυχὴν αἵματος ἀθῴου καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

26 ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐκ ἐμμενεῖ ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς λόγοις τοῦ νόμου τούτου τοῦ ποιῆσαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐροῦσιν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο

8940. 'And if you make for Me an altar of stones' means a representative kind of worship in general that is composed of truths. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as a representative of Divine worship in general, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489; and from the meaning of 'stones' as truths, dealt with in 643, 1298, 3720, 3769, 3771, 3773, 3789, 3798, 6426, 8609. There is worship of the Lord that springs from good, and there is worship of Him that springs from truth. Worship of the Lord springing from good was represented by an altar of soil, and worship springing from truth by an altar of stone. Regarding the first and the second kinds of worship, see above in 8935. It was because an altar of stone was a sign of worship springing from truth that they were commanded to set up such an altar as soon as they crossed the Jordan and came into the land of Canaan, and to write on it the Commandments contained in the Law, that is, God's truths from heaven. For by the Ten Commandments are meant all God's truths in summary form. That altar is spoken of in Moses as follows,

When you cross the Jordan you shall set up for yourself large stones, and coat them with lime. Then you shall write on them all the words of the Law. Afterwards, you shall build there an altar to Jehovah your God, an altar of stones, which you shall not hew with any iron tool. 1 With whole stones you shall build the altar of Jehovah your God, and present 2 on it burnt offerings and eucharistic offerings. And you shall write on the stones of the altar the words of the Law, expressing them very plainly. Deuteronomy 27:1-8; Joshua 8:30-32.

[2] The reason why they were to write the words of the Law on stones of the altar was that truths were meant by 'stones', and worship that springs from truths by 'an altar of stones'. This was also the reason why the Ten Commandments, which were a sign of Divine Truths in their entirety, were inscribed on tablets of stone. The reason why it had to be done as soon as they crossed the Jordan was that the Jordan, which was the first and outermost boundary of the land of Canaan on the side where the wilderness lay, meant introduction into the Church or heaven, which is accomplished through cognitions or knowledge of truth and good, thus through truths from the Word, 4255. For all the rivers serving as boundaries of that land meant the first and outermost reaches of the Lord's kingdom, 4116, 4240. By 'the stones of the altar' the truths of faith are also meant in Isaiah,

He will remove sin when He makes all the stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about. Isaiah 27:9

This refers to the ruination of the Church. 'The stones of the altar like chalk-stones scattered about' stands for the truths of faith that inspire worship after something similar has happened to them. As regards altars in general, they were made out of soil, stones, bronze, wood, and also gold - out of bronze, wood, and gold because these materials served to mean good. For an altar of bronze, see Ezekiel 9:2; for an altar of wood, Ezekiel 41:22; and for an altar of gold, which was the altar of incense, 1 Kings 6:22; 7:48; Revelation 8:3. That 'bronze' means good, see 425, 1551; that 'wood' does so, 643, 2784, 2812, 3720, 8354; and that 'gold' does so as well, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658.
