What does Joshua 8:32 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Joshua 8:32
And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law
of
Moses
Not upon the stones of which the altar was made, though some have
so thought; but upon other stones erected in the form of a
pillar, and plastered over, ( Deuteronomy
27:4 ) ; which copy of the law was not the whole book of
Deuteronomy, as some, at least only an abstract of the laws in
it; but rather the decalogue, as Abarbinel; or the blessings and
curses later read, as Ben Gersom:
which he wrote in the presence of the children of
Israel:
they being witness of it, that he did what was enjoined.
