And Joshua called together all the children of Israel, and their elders, and their chiefs, and their judges, and their officers, and said to them, I am old and advanced in years.

And Joshua gathered all the tribe of Israel to Shiloh, and called their elders, and their officers, and their judges, and set them before God.

These shall stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim, having gone over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

And these shall stand for cursing on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Nephthali.

You all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,

your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,

and they commanded the people, saying, When you shall see the ark of the covenant of the Lord our God, and our priests and the Levites bearing it, you shall depart from your places, and you shall go after it.

And Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and go before the people. And the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and went before the people.

And the people removed from their tents to cross over the Jordan, and the priests bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord before the people.

And the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood in the Jordan, until Joshua [had] finished all that the Lord commanded him to report to the people; and the people hurried and passed over.

And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord had come up from the midst of the Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, [that] the water of the Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before over all its banks.

And Joshua the [son] of Nun went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying, And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.

And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.

then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

And David called Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and the Levites, Uriel, Asaiah, Joel, Shemaiah, Eliel, and Amminadab,

For because you were not [ready] at the first, our God made a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the ordinance.

And the sons of the Levites took the ark of God, (as Moses commanded by the word of God according to the Scripture) upon their shoulders with poles.

There shall be one law to the native, and to the proselyte coming among you.

There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I [am] the Lord your God.

There shall be one law and one ordinance for you, and for the stranger that abides among you.

There shall be one law for the native among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that abides among them, whosoever shall commit a trespass unwillingly.

having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall hearken to do all the words of this law.

Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel on Mount Ebal,

And Joshua wrote upon the stones a copy of the law, the law of Moses, before the children of Israel.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse upon Mount Ebal.

These shall stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim, having gone over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
