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.

Deuteronomy 27:6 In-Context

4 `And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.

6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,

7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,

8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'
