Joshua 8:33

The Passion Translation

All Israel, including their elders, officials, and judges, stood on either side of the ark. Both native-born citizens and immigrants alike faced the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the Levitical priests who carried it. In front of half of them stood Mount Gerizim, and in front of the other half stood Mount Ebal, as Yahweh’s servant Moses commanded at first to bless the people of Israel.
