*
Then Joshua built an altar in Mount Ebal to the LORD ,
the God of Israel ,
*
as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the people of Israel ,
as it is written in the book of the law of Moses , "
an altar of unhewn stones ,
upon which no man has lifted an iron tool ";
and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD ,
and sacrificed peace offerings .
*
And there ,
in the presence of the people of Israel ,
he wrote upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses ,
which he had written .
*
And all Israel ,
sojourner as well as homeborn ,
with their elders and officers and their judges ,
stood on opposite sides of the ark before the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
half of them in front of Mount Ger '
izim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal ,
as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first ,
that they should bless the people of Israel .
*
And afterward 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 commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel ,
and the women ,
and the little ones ,
and the sojourners who lived among them .
