Joshua

Joshua 8:30–31

30At that time Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal to the LORD, the God of Israel, 31just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the Israelites. He built it according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: “an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool has been used.”e And on it they offered burnt offerings to the LORD, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
