Joshua 8:31-33

The Voice

³¹ He had it built just as Moses, the Lord’s servant, had commanded the Israelites and is recorded in the book of the law,^[a] an altar of stones that had not been cut with iron tools. They offered sacrifices to the Eternal there—burnt offerings and peace offerings— ³² and with the Israelites gathered, Joshua had the law of Moses engraved on the stones. ³³ Israel, the elders, the officers, and the judges gathered around the covenant chest of the Eternal, which was carried by the Levite priests, a gathering Moses had commanded, including Israelites and sojourners. They lined the valley, half in front of Mount Ebal and half in front of Mount Gerizim, as Moses, servant of the Eternal One, had commanded before he died, so that the people could be blessed.
