Joshua 8:35 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 8:35

There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which
Joshua read not
So punctually, precisely, and exactly did he observe the instructions and commands that were given him by Moses; and this he did in the most public manner:

before all the congregation of Israel;
who were on this occasion called together, and not before the men only, but

with the women, and little ones:
who all had a concern in the things that were read to them: yea, even

and the strangers that were conversant among them;
not the proselytes of righteousness only, but the proselytes of the gate, that dwelt, walked, and conversed with them.

Joshua 8:35 In-Context

33 And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.

34 And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;

35 Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.
