The Law Inscribed on Stones

1 Now Moses, with the elders of Israel, commanded the people, saying: “Keep all the commandments which I command you today.
2 And it shall be, on the day awhen you cross over the Jordan to the land which the Lord your God is giving you, that byou shall set up for yourselves large stones, and whitewash them with lime.  
3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have crossed over, that you may enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you, a‘a land flowing with milk and honey,’ just as the Lord God of your fathers promised you.  
4 Therefore it shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that aon Mount Ebal you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, and you shall whitewash them with lime.  
5 And there you shall build an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; ayou shall not use an iron tool on them.  
6 You shall build with whole stones the altar of the Lord your God, and offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.  
7 You shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there, and arejoice before the Lord your God.

John Wesley's Notes

Deuteronomy 27:3

This law - The law properly so called, that is, the sum and substance of the precepts or laws of Moses, especially such as were moral, particularly the decalogue. Write it, that thou mayest go in - As the condition of thy entering into the land. For since Canaan is given only by promise, it must be held by obedience.
