Joshua 8:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 8:31

29 ^aAnd the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. ^bAnd as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and ^craise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

Joshua Renews the Covenant

30 Now Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel ^ain 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: ^a“an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool.” And ^bthey offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.

32 And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, ^ahe 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, ^awho bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, ^bthe 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, ^cas Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

34 And afterward ^ahe read all the words of the law, ^bthe blessings and the cursings, according to all that is written in the ^cBook of the Law.
