Mt Ebal
Joshua built on Mount Ebal
an altar to Yehowah Elohey Yisrael, as commanded by Moses
30 Now
Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel
in Mount Ebal,
31 as Moses the servant of the
LORD 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 no man has
wielded an iron tool." And they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD,
and sacrificed peace offerings.

on the Altar on Mount
Ebal
32 And
there, in the presence of the children of Israel, he wrote on the stones a
copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
People positioned for the Blessing
and the Law
33 Then all
Israel,
with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark
before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
the stranger as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front
of Mount Gerizim
and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded
before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Words of the Law read to all the
people, the Blessings, and the Cursings
34 And
afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings,
according to all that is written in the Book of the Law. 35 There was not a word of all that
Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with
the women, the little ones, and the strangers who were living among them. NKJV
