30 It was then that Joshua built an altar on Mount Eʹbal+ to Jehovah the God of Israel, 31 just as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the Israelites and as it is written in the book of the Law+ of Moses: “An altar of whole stones on which no iron tool has been wielded.”+ On it they offered up burnt offerings to Jehovah as well as communion sacrifices.+

32 Then he wrote there on the stones a copy of the Law+ that Moses had written before the Israelites.+
