Joshua 8:31 in Context — Joshua 8

29 Mas ao rei de Ai enforcou de um madeiro até à tarde: e quando o sol se pôs, mandou Josué que tirassem do madeiro seu corpo, e o lançassem à porta da cidade: e levantaram sobre ele um grande amontoado de pedras, até hoje.

30 Então Josué edificou um altar ao SENHOR Deus de Israel no monte de Ebal,

31 Como Moisés, servo do SENHOR, o havia mandado aos filhos de Israel, como está escrito no livro da lei de Moisés, um altar de pedras inteiras sobre as quais ninguém levantou ferro: e ofereceram sobre ele holocaustos ao SENHOR, e sacrificaram ofertas pacíficas.

32 Também escreveu ali em pedras a repetição da lei de Moisés, a qual ele havia escrito diante dos filhos de Israel.

33 E todo Israel, e seus anciãos, oficiais, e juízes, estavam da uma e da outra parte junto à arca, diante dos sacerdotes levitas que levam a arca do pacto do SENHOR; tanto estrangeiros como naturais, a metade deles estava até o monte de Gerizim, e a outra metade até o monte de Ebal; da maneira que Moisés, servo do SENHOR, havia lhe mandado antes, para que abençoassem primeiramente ao povo de Israel.
