Contextual Overview

1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commands which I am commanding you today, 2 and it shall be in the day you cross over the Jordan to the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you, that you shall raise up for yourself great stones, and plaster them with plaster. 3 And you shall write on them all the Words of this Law when you have crossed over, so that you may go into the land which Jehovah your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah the God of your fathers has promised you. 4 And it shall be when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall raise up these stones as to which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster. 5 And you shall build an altar there to Jehovah your God, an altar of stones. You shall not wield any iron tool on them. 6 You shall build the altar of Jehovah your God of uncut stones. And you shall offer burnt offerings on it to Jehovah your God. 7 And you shall offer peace offerings, and shall eat there. And you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God. 8 And you shall write on the stones all the Words of the Law very plainly. 9 And Moses and the priests, the Levites, spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and hear, O Israel: Today you have become the people of Jehovah your God. 10 Therefore you shall obey the voice of Jehovah your God and do His commandments and His statutes which I command you today.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Thou shall build the altar of the Lord thy God of whole stones,.... And of such Joshua did build it, Joshua 8:31;

and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the Lord thy God; and very likely sin offerings too; for these frequently went together, the one to make atonement for sin, and the other as a gift, and by way of thankfulness for the acceptance of the former; and both typical of Christ, the true sacrifice, and the antitype of all the legal sacrifices.
