Read Joshua 8.30-35
In 8.30-35: Building an altar, reading the law.
In verses 30-31: Joshua obeys Mosaic ordinance (Deut 11.29-30; 27.2-13) by building an altar for sacrifice, writing on stones (v. 32), and arranging the people for blessing and cursing (v. 33).
In verse 32: These are not the altar stones, but others set up in accordance with Deut 27.4.
In verses 34-35: In obedience to Deut 31.10-12, Joshua reads the book of the law (Deuteronomy), including the blessings and curses of Deut 28.
There is an emphasis on totality: All the words and all that is written are read to all the assembly.
