Joshua 8:30-32

EasyEnglish Bible

Joshua reads God's law to the people

³⁰ Then Joshua built an altar on Ebal mountain, to worship the Lord, Israel's God. ³¹ He built it as the Lord's servant, Moses, had told the Israelites to do. Moses had written this on the scroll of God's laws. The law said, ‘You must build an altar with whole stones that you have not cut. Do not use any iron tools on them.’^[a] They made burnt offerings on the altar to worship the Lord. They also made sacrifices as friendship offerings. ³² The Israelites watched Joshua as he made a copy of God's Law on the stones. This was the Law that Moses had written.
