Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 8:33

_ _ all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side — One half of Israel was arranged on Gerizim, and the other half on Ebal — along the sides and base of each.

_ _ before the priests the Levites — in full view of them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 8:30-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 8:33

All Israel — That is, the whole congregation, old and young, male and female. That side — Some on one side of it, and some on the other. Mount Gerizim — These two places were in the tribe of Ephraim, not far from Shechem, as appears both from scripture, and from other authors. Bless — Or curse, which is easily understood out of the following verse.
