Joshua Renews the Covenant^(A)

³⁰ Now Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel ^(B)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: ^(C)“an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool.” And ^(D)they offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings. ³² And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, ^(E)he wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written. ³³ Then all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, ^(F)who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^(G)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, ^(H)as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. ³⁴ And afterward ^(I)he read all the words of the law, ^(J)the blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the ^(K)Book of the Law. ³⁵ There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, ^(L)with the women, the little ones, ^(M)and the strangers who were living among them.
