Covenant Renewal Then Joshua built an altar for the LORD God of Israel on Mount Ebal,
just as Moses the LORD’s servant had commanded the Israelites. As described in the law scroll of Moses, it was made with uncut stones untouched by an iron tool. On it they offered burnt sacrifices to the LORD and sacrificed tokens of peace.
There, in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a duplicate of the law written by Moses.
