Joshua 8:30-35

International Standard Version

Joshua Renews the Covenant

³⁰ Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel, on Mount Ebal, ³¹ just the way Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the Israelis in the Book of the Law of Moses: “…an altar of uncut^[a] stones that hasn’t been worked with iron tools…”^[b] and they offered burnt offerings to the Lord on it, along with peace offerings.

³² There Joshua^[c] inscribed on stones a copy of the Law of Moses that Moses had presented to^[d] the Israelis. ³³ All Israel, both foreigners and citizens, together with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on opposite sides of the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord. Half stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half stood in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses, the Lord’s servant had commanded at the first, so that they could bless the people of Israel.^{[e] 34} Afterwards, Joshua^[f] read all the words of the Law—both the blessings and the curses—according to everything written in the Book of the Law.^{[g] 35} There wasn’t one word of everything Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read in front of the entire assembly of Israel, including the women, their little ones, and the foreigners who lived among them.
