33 And all Israel and their older men+ and the officers and their judges were standing on this side and on that side of the Ark in front of the priests,+ the Levites, carrying the ark of the covenant of Jehovah,+ the alien resident as well as the native,+ one half of them in front of Mount Gerʹi·zim+ and the other half of them in front of Mount Eʹbal,+ (just as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded,)+ to bless+ the people of Israel first of all.
