This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
30 Then Yehoshua built an altar to Yisrael’s god, Yahweh on Mt. Eybal[ref] 31 just like Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had instructed them. (It was written in the scroll of the rules from Mosheh that it must be an altar made from whole stones that haven’t been chiselled with iron tools.) Then they offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on it, plus they sacrificed peace offerings,[ref] 32 and while the Israelis watched, Yehoshua inscribed onto the stones there,[fn] a copy of the rules passed on by Mosheh. 33 Then all of Yisrael and their elders and officials and judges were standing some on each side of the box containing Yahweh’s agreement, facing the priests and the Levites who carried the box. Any resident foreigners were also there. Half of the people stood on the Mt. Gerazim side, and half on the Mt. Eybal side of the valley, just like the way that Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had originally commanded for blessing the people.[ref]
34 Then Yehoshua read all the law, including the blessings and the curses, as per everything that’s written in the book of the law. 35 He read out every single word that Mosheh had written, in front of the entire assembly of Yisrael, including the women, children, and foreigners living among them.
8:32 Probably not the altar stones since an iron tool wasn’t allowed to be used on them.
Deu 27:2-8:
2 When you cross the Yarden river to enter the land that your god Yahweh is giving you, then you must stand up some tall pieces of rock and cover them with plaster.[ref] 3 Then write all these instructions onto them as soon as you’ve crossed the river, so that you can enter the very fertile land that your god Yahweh is giving you, as he had promised your ancestors. 4 Then after you’ve gone further in, stand some tall pieces of rock up on end on Mt. Ebal like I’ve told you, and cover them with plaster, 5 and build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to your god Yahweh. Don’t use any iron tools to shape the stones.[ref] 6 You must built Yahweh’s altar with uncut stones. Then you can offer burnt sacrifices to your god Yahweh on it. 7 Also, you can sacrifice peace offerings and cheerfully eat them there in front of your god Yahweh. 8 When you write these instructions on those stones, you must write them very clearly.
Exo 20:25:
25 If you do make me an altar with stones, you mustn’t use cut stones to build it because moving your tools over it will defile it.[ref]
Deu 11:29:
29 Whenever your god Yahweh brings you into the land that you’re entering to take possession of, you must pronounce the blessing from Mt. Gerizim, and the curse from Mt. Eyval.[ref]
27:11-14:
27:11 Curses for disobedience
11 That same day, Mosheh told the people, 12 “After you’ve all crossed the Yarden river, the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Yehudah, Yissaskar, Yosef, and Benyamin must stand on Mt. Gerizim and bless the people.[ref] 13 Meanwhile, the tribes of Reuven, Gad, Asher, Zevulun, Dan, and Naftali must stand on Mt. Ebal to hear the curse.
14 Then the Levites will call out loudly to tell every Israeli:
