Joshua:8:30-35
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Joshua built an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel ,
in mount Ebal ,
*
as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel ,
as it is written in the book of the law of Moses ,
an altar of whole stones ,
over which iron had not been lifted up .
And they offered up burnt-offerings on it to Jehovah ,
and sacrificed peace-offerings .
*
And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses ,
which he had written before the children of Israel .
*
And all Israel ,
and their elders ,
and their officers and judges ,
stood on this side and on that side of the ark before the priests the Levites ,
who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah ,
as well the stranger as the home-born [
Israelite ];
half of them toward mount Gerizim ,
and the other half of them toward mount Ebal ;
as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded ,
that they should bless the people of Israel ,
in the beginning .
*
And afterwards he read all the words of the law ,
the blessing and the curse ,
according to all that is written in the book of the law .
*
There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua read not before the whole congregation of Israel ,
and the women ,
and the children ,
and the strangers that lived among them .
