Contextual Overview

1 And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people saying, - Observe all the commandment which I am commanding you to-day. 2 So then it shall be in the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan, into the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee, - that thou shalt rear thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster; 3 and shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou shalt pass over, - to the end that thou mayest enter upon the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee. 4 So then it shall be when ye shall pass over the Jordan, that ye shall rear up these stones which I am commanding you to-day in Mount Ebal, - and thou shalt plaster them with plaster. 5 And thou shalt build there an altar unto Yahweh thy God, - an altar of stones, thou shalt not wield thereupon any tool of iron. 6 Of whole stones, shalt thou build the altar of Yahweh thy God, - then shalt thou cause to go up thereon ascending-sacrifices, unto Yahweh thy God; 7 and thou shalt sacrifice peace-offerings and shalt eat there, - and rejoice before Yahweh thy God. 8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law doing it plainly and well. 9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel saying, - Keep silence and hear O Israel, This day, hast thou been made a people unto Yahweh thy God. 10 Thou shalt therefore hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, - and do his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And thou shall offer peace offerings,.... Part of which belonged to God, which was burnt on the altar, and another part to the priest that offered them; and the rest to the owner that brought them, which he eat of with his friends; so it follows:

and shall eat there, and rejoice before the Lord thy God: now this altar, where these sacrifices were offered, was on the very spot where the stones were on which the law was written; and may point at the gracious provision God has made for the redemption of his people from the curse of it by Christ, who became a substitute for them in their legal place and stead. The altar being of rough unhewn stones was a type of him in his human nature, who is the stone in the vision cut out of the mountain without hands; and being unpolished may denote the meanness of his outward appearance, on account of which he was rejected by the Jewish builders; and no iron tool being to be lifted up on them, may signify that nothing of man's is to be added to the sacrifice and satisfaction of Christ, and salvation by him; and this being in Ebal, where the curses were pronounced, shows that Christ, by the offering up of himself for the sins of his people, has made atonement for them, and thereby has delivered them from the curse of the law, being made a curse for them; all which is matter of joy and gladness to them.
