Scripture focus

And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

Commentary on Joshua 8:33

Theological / Devotional

A copy of the law. According to Deuteronomy 27:2-8, a stone monument was to be erected next to the altar. This was to be covered over with plaster. Upon this plaster the Ten Commandments and the law of Moses were inscribed. These, together with the blessings for obedience and the curse for disobedience, were read to the whole congregation of Israel. In that country, where heavy frosts would not disintegrate the letters, this monument may have remained for centuries as a witness to Israel of their covenant, as well as a witness to the nations about.
