Joshua 8:32-34

Good News Translation

³²There, with the Israelites looking on, Joshua made on the stones^[a] a copy of the Law which Moses had written. ³³^(A)The Israelites, with their leaders, officers, and judges, as well as the foreigners among them, stood on two sides of the Lord's Covenant Box, facing the levitical priests who carried it. Half of the people stood with their backs to Mount Gerizim and the other half with their backs to Mount Ebal. The Lord's servant Moses had commanded them to do this when the time came for them to receive the blessing. ³⁴Joshua then read aloud the whole Law, including the blessings and the curses, just as they are written in the book of the Law.
