seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in
the feast of tabernacles, When all Israel is come to
appear before YHVH thy God in the place which he shall
choose, thou shalt
read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Gather the people together, men, and women, and
children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates,
that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear
YHVH your God, and observe to do all the words of this
law: And that their children, which have not known any

long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to
possess it."

side of the ark of the covenant of YHVH your God, that
it may be there for a witness against thee."

"And
he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of
Moses, which he wrote in the presence of
the children of Israel. And all Israel, and their
elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this
side the ark and on that side before the priests the
Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of YHVH, as
well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half
of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them
over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of YHVH
had commanded before, that they should bless the people
of Israel. And afterward he read all the words of the
law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that
is written in the book of the law. There was not a word
of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not
before all the congregation of Israel, with the women,
and the little ones, and the strangers that were
conversant among them."

under an oak, that was by the sanctuary
of YHVH."
