There, in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a duplicate of the law written by Moses.

Be very strong! Carefully obey all that is written in the law scroll of Moses so you won’t swerve from it to the right or the left,

Joshua wrote these words in the Law Scroll of God. He then took a large stone and set it up there under the oak tree near the Lord’s shrine.

just as Moses the Lord’s servant had commanded the Israelites. As described in the law scroll of Moses, it was made with uncut stones untouched by an iron tool. They offered burnt sacrifices on it and sacrificed tokens of peace.
