Joshua8:32
32 And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses , which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Not upon the Stones of the Altar, which were to be rough and unpolished, v. 31. but upon other Stones, sinooth and plaistered, as is manifest from Deut. 27. 2.
Not certainly the whole five Books of Moses, for what Stones and time would have sufficed for this! nor the Blessings and the Curses here following, which never are, nor can without great impropriety be called the Law of Moses, seeing they presuppose the Law, and the Observation or Transgression thereof, to which they belong, only as rewards of the one, and punishments of the other: but the most weighty and substantial parts of the Law, as may be gathered from the Laws which are mentioned, and to the violaters whereof the Curses are applied, Deut. 27. 15. &c. and especially the Law of the Ten Commandments.
