Covenant Renewal at Mount Ebal

Joshua 8:30-35

Then Y'hoshua built an altar to ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, on Mount 'Eival,

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.

He wrote there on the stones a copy of the Torah of Moshe, inscribing it in the presence of the people of Isra'el.

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.

After this, he read all the words of the Torah, the blessing and the curse, according to everything written in the book of the Torah.

There was not a word of everything Moshe had ordered that Y'hoshua did not read before all Isra'el assembled, including the women, the little ones and the foreigners living with them.
