28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a perpetual heap, desolate unto this day.
29 And he hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city and raise a great heap of stones upon it, that remains unto this day.
30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the Lord God of Israel in Mount Ebal,
31 as Moses, the slave, of the Lord had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no one lifted up any iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings upon it unto the Lord and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 He also wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written in the presence of the sons of Israel.
33 And all Israel and their elders and officers and their judges stood on one side and on the other near the ark, before the priests the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the strangers, as well as the natural born among them, half of them over against Mount Gerizim and half of them over against Mount Ebal, as Moses, the slave of the Lord, had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
34 After this he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
