Joshua 8:31 in Context — Joshua 8
29 Il fit pendre à un bois le roi d’Aï, et l’y laissa jusqu’au soir. Au coucher du soleil, Josué ordonna qu’on descendît son cadavre du bois; on le jeta à l’entrée de la porte de la ville, et l’on éleva sur lui un grand monceau de pierres, qui subsiste encore aujourd’hui.
30 Alors Josué bâtit un autel à l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël, sur le mont Ébal,
31 comme Moïse, serviteur de l’Éternel, l’avait ordonné aux enfants d’Israël, et comme il est écrit dans le livre de la loi de Moïse: c’était un autel de pierres brutes, sur lesquelles on ne porta point le fer. Ils offrirent sur cet autel des holocaustes à l’Éternel, et ils présentèrent des sacrifices d’actions de grâces.
32 Et là Josué écrivit sur les pierres une copie de la loi que Moïse avait écrite devant les enfants d’Israël.
33 Tout Israël, ses anciens, ses officiers et ses juges, se tenaient des deux côtés de l’arche, devant les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, qui portaient l’arche de l’alliance de l’Éternel; les étrangers comme les enfants d’Israël étaient là, moitié du côté du mont Garizim, moitié du côté du mont Ébal, selon l’ordre qu’avait précédemment donné Moïse, serviteur de l’Éternel, de bénir le peuple d’Israël.
