Joshua
Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal Joshua 8:30. He also wrote on stones a copy of the law of Moses and read all the words of the law to the assembled people Joshua 8:32–35.
30Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
31as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
32He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote, in the presence of the children of Israel.
All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, as well the sojourner as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
34Afterward 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.
35There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn`t read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourners who were among them.
