Joshua 8:33

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.

And all Israel {H3478}, and their elders {H2205}, and officers {H7860}, and their judges {H8199}, stood {H5975} on this side the ark {H727} and on that side before the priests {H3548} the Levites {H3881}, which bare {H5375} the ark {H727} of the covenant {H1285} of the LORD {H3068}, as well the stranger {H1616}, as he that was born {H249} among them; half {H2677} of them over {H413} against {H4136} mount {H2022} Gerizim {H1630}, and half {H2677} of them over against {H4136} mount {H2022} Ebal {H5858}; as Moses {H4872} the servant {H5650} of the LORD {H3068} had commanded {H6680} before {H7223}, that they should bless {H1288} the people {H5971} of Israel {H3478}.

Then all Isra'el, including their leaders, officials and judges, stood on either side of the ark in front of the cohanim, who were L'vi'im and who carried the ark for the covenant of ADONAI. The foreigners were there along with the citizens. Half of the people were in front of Mount G'rizim and half of them in front of Mount 'Eival, as Moshe the servant of ADONAI had ordered them earlier in connection with blessing the people of Isra'el.

All Israel, foreigners and citizens alike, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the LORD facing the Levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel.

And all Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, that bare the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the home-born; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
