Deuteronomy 27:5 in Context — Deuteronomy 27

3 Y escribirás en ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, cuando hubieres pasado para entrar en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, tierra que fluye leche y miel, como Jehová el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho.

4 Será pues, cuando hubieres pasado el Jordán, que levantaréis estas piedras que yo os mando hoy, en el monte de Ebal, y las revocarás con cal:

5 Y edificarás allí altar á Jehová tu Dios, altar de piedras: no alzarás sobre ellas hierro.

6 De piedras enteras edificarás el altar de Jehová tu Dios; y ofrecerás sobre él holocausto á Jehová tu Dios;

7 Y sacrificarás pacíficos, y comerás allí; y alegrarte has delante de Jehová tu Dios.
