Joshua 8:33-35

EasyEnglish Bible

³³ All the Israelites stood on each side of the Covenant Box, with their faces towards the priests who carried it. The leaders, officers, and judges were there, as well as foreign people who lived with the Israelites. Half the people stood with their backs to Mount Gerizim. The other half stood with their backs to Mount Ebal. Moses had told them to stand like that when the Lord wanted to bless them.^{[a] 34} Then Joshua read the whole Law aloud to them. He read the blessings and the curses, as they are written on the scroll of the Law. ³⁵ Joshua read aloud every command that Moses had written. He read it to all the Israelite people. The women, children and the foreign people who lived with them also listened.^[b]
