Deuteronomy 27:6 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 27:6

Thou shall build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole
stones
And of such Joshua did build it, ( Joshua 8:31 ) ;

and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God;
and very likely sin offerings too; for these frequently went together, the one to make atonement for sin, and the other as a gift, and by way of thankfulness for the acceptance of the former; and both typical of Christ, the true sacrifice, and the antitype of all the legal sacrifices.

4 After you have crossed the Jordan River, set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I command you today, and cover them with plaster.
5 Build an altar of stones there to the Lord your God, but don't use any iron tool to cut the stones;
6 build the altar of the Lord your God with stones from the field. Offer burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God,
7 and offer fellowship offerings there, and eat them and rejoice before the Lord your God.
8 Then write clearly all the words of these teachings on the stones."
