Verse 4 is found in chapter 27 of Deuteronomy. Upon entering Canaan, Israel must set up stones, write the words of the law on them, and build an altar on Mount Ebal. The law must remain visible and connected with an act of worship. The people do not enter the land merely to occupy it, but to live there under the instructions received from God.

Wenn ihr nun über den Jordan geht, so sollt ihr solche Steine aufrichten (davon ich euch heute gebiete) auf dem Berge Ebal und mit Kalk tünchen.
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:
Cuando crucen el Jordán, levantarán en el monte Ebal estas piedras que hoy les mando, y las recubrirás con cal.
Lorsque vous aurez passé le Jourdain, vous dresserez sur le mont Ebal ces pierres que je vous ordonne aujourd'hui de dresser, et tu les enduiras de chaux.
Quando adunque sarete passati il Giordano, rizzatevi queste pietre, le quali oggi vi comando, nel monte di Ebal; e smaltatele con calcina.
Será, pois, que, quando houveres passado o Jordão, levantareis estas pedras, que hoje vos ordeno, no monte Ebal, e as caiarás.
