Deuteronomio 27:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 27:2

And it shall be, on the day when you shall pass over Jordan,
&c.] Not the precise day exactly, but about that time, a little after they passed that river, as soon as they conveniently could; for it was not till after Ai was destroyed that the following order was put in execution; indeed as soon as they passed over Jordan, they were ordered to take twelve stones, and did; but then they were set up in a different place, and for a different purpose; see ( Joshua 4:3 Joshua 4:8 Joshua 4:9 ) ( 8:31 ) ;

unto the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set
thee up great stones;
not in Jordan, as Jarchi, but on Mount Ebal, ( Deuteronomy 27:4 ) ; nor had the stones set up in Jordan any such inscription as what is here ordered to be set on these:

and plaster them with plaster:
that so words might be written upon them, and be more conspicuous, and more easily read.

Deuteronomio 27:2 In-Context

1 Y MANDO Moisés, con los ancianos de Israel, al pueblo, diciendo: Guardaréis todos los mandamientos que yo prescribo hoy.

2 Y será que, el día que pasareis el Jordán á la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, te has de levantar piedras grandes, las cuales revocarás con cal:

3 Y escribirás en ellas todas las palabras de esta ley, cuando hubieres pasado para entrar en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da, tierra que fluye leche y miel, como Jehová el Dios de tus padres te ha dicho.

4 Será pues, cuando hubieres pasado el Jordán, que levantaréis estas piedras que yo os mando hoy, en el monte de Ebal, y las revocarás con cal:

5 Y edificarás allí altar á Jehová tu Dios, altar de piedras: no alzarás sobre ellas hierro.
