The Law Is Read at Mount Ebal

^30 (A)Then Joshua built on Mount Ebal an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel. ^31 (B)He made it according to the instructions that Moses, the Lord's servant, had given the Israelites, as it says in the Law of Moses: “an altar made of stones which have not been cut with iron tools.” On it they offered burnt sacrifices to the Lord, and they also presented their fellowship offerings.
