Joshua 8:31

As Moses {H4872} the servant {H5650} of the LORD {H3068} commanded {H6680} the children {H1121} of Israel {H3478}, as it is written {H3789} in the book {H5612} of the law {H8451} of Moses {H4872}, an altar {H4196} of whole {H8003} stones {H68}, over which no man hath lift up {H5130} any iron {H1270}: and they offered {H5927} thereon burnt offerings {H5930} unto the LORD {H3068}, and sacrificed {H2076} peace offerings {H8002}.

as Moshe the servant of ADONAI had ordered the people of Isra'el to do (this is written in the book of the Torah of Moshe), an altar of uncut stones that no one had touched with an iron tool. On it they offered burnt offerings to ADONAI and sacrificed peace offerings.

just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool has been used.” And on it they offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and they sacrificed peace offerings.

as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of unhewn stones, upon which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace-offerings.
