And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, even the law of Moses, before the children of Israel. [33] And all Israel, and their elders, and their judges, and their scribes, passed on one side and on the other, before the ark; and the priests and the levites took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and the stranger and the native were there, who were half of them near mount Gebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded at first, to bless the people. [34] And afterwards Joshua read accordingly all the words of this law, the blessings and the curses, according to all things written in the law of Moses. [35] There was not a word of all that Moses charged Joshua, which Joshua read not in the ears of all men, and the women, and the children of Israel, and the strangers that joined themselves to Israel.
