A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
JOSHUA BUILDS AN ALTAR. (Jos 8:30-31)

Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in mount Ebal--(See on Deu 27:11). This spot was little short of twenty miles from Ai. The march through a hostile country and the unmolested performance of the religious ceremonial observed at this mountain, would be greatly facilitated, through the blessing of God, by the disastrous fall of Ai. The solemn duty was to be attended to at the first convenient opportunity after the entrance into Canaan (Deu 27:2); and with this in view Joshua seems to have conducted the people through the mountainous region that intervened though no details of the journey have been recorded. Ebal was on the north, opposite to Gerizim, which was on the south side of the town Sichem (Nablous).

6 And they went [03212] to Joshua [03091] unto the camp [04264] at Gilgal [01537], and said [0559] unto him, and to the men [0376] of Israel [03478], We be come [0935] from a far [07350] country [0776]: now therefore make [03772] ye a league [01285] with us.

29 And the king [04428] of Ai [05857] he hanged [08518] on a tree [06086] until eventide [06256] [06153]: and as soon as the sun [08121] was down [0935], Joshua [03091] commanded [06680] that they should take [03381] his carcase [05038] down [03381] from the tree [06086], and cast [07993] it at the entering [06607] of the gate [08179] of the city [05892], and raise [06965] thereon a great [01419] heap [01530] of stones [068], that remaineth unto this day [03117].

15 Though thou, Israel [03478], play the harlot [02181], yet let not Judah [03063] offend [0816]; and come [0935] not ye unto Gilgal [01537], neither go ye up [05927] to Bethaven [01007], nor swear [07650], The LORD [03068] liveth [02416].

7 The LORD [03068] shall cause [05414] thine enemies [0341] that rise up [06965] against thee to be smitten [05062] before thy face [06440]: they shall come out [03318] against thee one [0259] way [01870], and flee [05127] before [06440] thee seven [07651] ways [01870].
8 The LORD [03068] shall command [06680] the blessing [01293] upon thee in thy storehouses [0618], and in all that thou settest [04916] thine hand [03027] unto; and he shall bless [01288] thee in the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee.
9 The LORD [03068] shall establish [06965] thee an holy [06918] people [05971] unto himself, as he hath sworn [07650] unto thee, if thou shalt keep [08104] the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and walk [01980] in his ways [01870].
10 And all people [05971] of the earth [0776] shall see [07200] that thou art called [07121] by the name [08034] of the LORD [03068]; and they shall be afraid [03372] of thee.
11 And the LORD [03068] shall make thee plenteous [03498] in goods [02896], in the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and in the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and in the fruit [06529] of thy ground [0127], in the land [0127] which the LORD [03068] sware [07650] unto thy fathers [01] to give [05414] thee.
12 The LORD [03068] shall open [06605] unto thee his good [02896] treasure [0214], the heaven [08064] to give [05414] the rain [04306] unto thy land [0776] in his season [06256], and to bless [01288] all the work [04639] of thine hand [03027]: and thou shalt lend [03867] unto many [07227] nations [01471], and thou shalt not borrow [03867].
13 And the LORD [03068] shall make [05414] thee the head [07218], and not the tail [02180]; and thou shalt be above only [04605], and thou shalt not be beneath [04295]; if that thou hearken [08085] unto the commandments [04687] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to observe [08104] and to do [06213] them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside [05493] from any of the words [01697] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117], to the right hand [03225], or to the left [08040], to go [03212] after [0310] other [0312] gods [0430] to serve [05647] them.
7 And he took [03947] the book [05612] of the covenant [01285], and read [07121] in the audience [0241] of the people [05971]: and they said [0559], All that the LORD [03068] hath said [01696] will we do [06213], and be obedient [08085].
34 And afterward [0310] he read [07121] all the words [01697] of the law [08451], the blessings [01293] and cursings [07045], according to all that is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451].
35 There was not a word [01697] of all that Moses [04872] commanded [06680], which Joshua [03091] read [07121] not before all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], with the women [0802], and the little ones [02945], and the strangers [01616] that were conversant [01980] among [07130] them.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath brought thee in [0935] unto the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it, that thou shalt put [05414] the blessing [01293] upon mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and the curse [07045] upon mount [02022] Ebal [05858].
11 And Moses [04872] charged [06680] the people [05971] the same day [03117], saying [0559],
33 And all Israel [03478], and their elders [02205], and officers [07860], and their judges [08199], stood [05975] on this side the ark [0727] and on that side before the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], as well the stranger [01616], as he that was born [0249] among them; half [02677] of them over [0413] against [04136] mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and half [02677] of them over against [04136] mount [02022] Ebal [05858]; as Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] before [07223], that they should bless [01288] the people [05971] of Israel [03478].
11 And Moses [04872] charged [06680] the people [05971] the same day [03117], saying [0559],
3 And thou shalt write [03789] upon them all the words [01697] of this law [08451], when thou art passed over [05674], that thou mayest go in [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth [03427] upon the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04467], that he shall write [03789] him a copy [04932] of this law [08451] in a book [05612] out of that which is before [06440] the priests [03548] the Levites [03881]:
2 And it shall be on the day [03117] when ye shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, that thou shalt set thee up [06965] great [01419] stones [068], and plaister [07874] them with plaister [07875]:
32 And he wrote [03789] there upon the stones [068] a copy [04932] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which he wrote [03789] in the presence [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
6 Thou shalt build [01129] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] of whole [08003] stones [068]: and thou shalt offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]:
7 And thou shalt offer [02076] peace offerings [08002], and shalt eat [0398] there, and rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
22 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Thus thou shalt say [0559] unto the children [01121] of Israel [03478], Ye have seen [07200] that I have talked [01696] with you from heaven [08064].
5 And there shalt thou build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], an altar [04196] of stones [068]: thou shalt not lift up [05130] any iron [01270] tool upon them.
31 As Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], as it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], an altar [04196] of whole [08003] stones [068], over which no man hath lift up [05130] any iron [01270]: and they offered [05927] thereon burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068], and sacrificed [02076] peace offerings [08002].
32 And he wrote [03789] there upon the stones [068] a copy [04932] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which he wrote [03789] in the presence [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
33 And all Israel [03478], and their elders [02205], and officers [07860], and their judges [08199], stood [05975] on this side the ark [0727] and on that side before the priests [03548] the Levites [03881], which bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068], as well the stranger [01616], as he that was born [0249] among them; half [02677] of them over [0413] against [04136] mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and half [02677] of them over against [04136] mount [02022] Ebal [05858]; as Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] before [07223], that they should bless [01288] the people [05971] of Israel [03478].
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over [05674] Jordan [03383], that ye shall set up [06965] these stones [068], which I command [06680] you this day [03117], in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], and thou shalt plaister [07875] them with plaister [07874].
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath brought thee in [0935] unto the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it, that thou shalt put [05414] the blessing [01293] upon mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and the curse [07045] upon mount [02022] Ebal [05858].
30 Then Joshua [03091] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Ebal [05858],
32 And he wrote [03789] there upon the stones [068] a copy [04932] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], which he wrote [03789] in the presence [06440] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
31 As Moses [04872] the servant [05650] of the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], as it is written [03789] in the book [05612] of the law [08451] of Moses [04872], an altar [04196] of whole [08003] stones [068], over which no man hath lift up [05130] any iron [01270]: and they offered [05927] thereon burnt offerings [05930] unto the LORD [03068], and sacrificed [02076] peace offerings [08002].
30 Then Joshua [03091] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Ebal [05858],
5 And I, and all the people [05971] that are with me, will approach [07126] unto the city [05892]: and it shall come to pass, when they come out [03318] against [07125] us, as at the first [07223], that we will flee [05127] before [06440] them,
6 (For they will come out [03318] after [0310] us) till we have drawn [05423] them from the city [05892]; for they will say [0559], They flee [05127] before [06440] us, as at the first [07223]: therefore we will flee [05127] before [06440] them.
7 Then ye shall rise up [06965] from the ambush [0693], and seize [03423] upon the city [05892]: for the LORD [03068] your God [0430] will deliver [05414] it into your hand [03027].
2 And it shall be on the day [03117] when ye shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, that thou shalt set thee up [06965] great [01419] stones [068], and plaister [07874] them with plaister [07875]:
3 And thou shalt write [03789] upon them all the words [01697] of this law [08451], when thou art passed over [05674], that thou mayest go in [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee.
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over [05674] Jordan [03383], that ye shall set up [06965] these stones [068], which I command [06680] you this day [03117], in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], and thou shalt plaister [07875] them with plaister [07874].
30 Then Joshua [03091] built [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] in mount [02022] Ebal [05858],
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over [05674] Jordan [03383], that ye shall set up [06965] these stones [068], which I command [06680] you this day [03117], in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], and thou shalt plaister [07875] them with plaister [07874].
5 And there shalt thou build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], an altar [04196] of stones [068]: thou shalt not lift up [05130] any iron [01270] tool upon them.
13 Take heed [08104] to thyself that thou offer [05927] not thy burnt offerings [05930] in every place [04725] that thou seest [07200]:
14 But in the place [04725] which the LORD [03068] shall choose [0977] in one [0259] of thy tribes [07626], there thou shalt offer [05927] thy burnt offerings [05930], and there thou shalt do [06213] all that I command [06680] thee.
2 And it shall be on the day [03117] when ye shall pass over [05674] Jordan [03383] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, that thou shalt set thee up [06965] great [01419] stones [068], and plaister [07874] them with plaister [07875]:
3 And thou shalt write [03789] upon them all the words [01697] of this law [08451], when thou art passed over [05674], that thou mayest go in [0935] unto the land [0776] which the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] giveth [05414] thee, a land [0776] that floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706]; as the LORD [03068] God [0430] of thy fathers [01] hath promised [01696] thee.
29 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath brought thee in [0935] unto the land [0776] whither thou goest [0935] to possess [03423] it, that thou shalt put [05414] the blessing [01293] upon mount [02022] Gerizim [01630], and the curse [07045] upon mount [02022] Ebal [05858].
4 Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over [05674] Jordan [03383], that ye shall set up [06965] these stones [068], which I command [06680] you this day [03117], in mount [02022] Ebal [05858], and thou shalt plaister [07875] them with plaister [07874].
5 And there shalt thou build [01129] an altar [04196] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], an altar [04196] of stones [068]: thou shalt not lift up [05130] any iron [01270] tool upon them.
6 Thou shalt build [01129] the altar [04196] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] of whole [08003] stones [068]: and thou shalt offer [05927] burnt offerings [05930] thereon unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430]:
7 And thou shalt offer [02076] peace offerings [08002], and shalt eat [0398] there, and rejoice [08055] before [06440] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430].
8 And thou shalt write [03789] upon the stones [068] all the words [01697] of this law [08451] very [03190] plainly [0874].
