Joshua 8:30-35 ▼

30 Then Joshua built an altar to YHWH, God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,

31 as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “An altar of whole stones, over which he has not wielded iron.” And they offered on it burnt offerings to YHWH, and they sacrificed peace offerings.

32 And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the faces of the sons of Israel.

33 And all Israel, and its elders, and its officers, and its judges, stood on this side and on this side of the ark before the priests, the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH, as the sojourner as the native. Half of them were toward the front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them toward the front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel at the first.

34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all written in the Book of the Law.

35 There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourner who was living among them.
