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 The older leaders, officers, judges, and all the Israelites were there; Israelites and non-Israelites were all standing around the Ark of the Agreement with the Lord in front of the priests, the Levites who had carried the Ark. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Ebal, and half stood in front of Mount Gerizim. This was the way the Lord's servant Moses had earlier commanded the people to be blessed.
34 Then Joshua read all the words of the teachings, the blessings and the curses, exactly as they were written in the Book of the Teachings.
35 All the Israelites were gathered together -- men, women, and children -- along with the non-Israelites who lived among them. Joshua read every command that Moses had given.
