Deuteronomy 27:8

6 You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God.

7 There you are to sacrifice your peace offerings, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.

And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”

9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10 You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
