And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

Verse 33 is found in chapter 8 of Joshua. Joshua builds an altar on Mount Ebal and writes there a copy of the law of Moses. The blessings and curses are then proclaimed before all Israel. Placing this ceremony immediately after the campaigns of Jericho and Ai is theologically significant: conquering the land does not replace obedience to the law. Israel must establish itself in Canaan as a people governed by the covenant, not merely as a territorial power.

Und das ganze Israel mit seinen Ältesten und Amtleuten und Richtern standen zu beiden Seiten der Lade, gegenüber den Priestern aus Levi, die die Lade des Bundes des HERRN trugen, die Fremdlinge sowohl wie die Einheimischen, eine Hälfte neben dem Berge Garizim und die andere Hälfte neben dem Berge Ebal, wie Mose, der Knecht des HERRN, vormals geboten hatte zu segnen das Volk Israel.
Y todo Israel, y sus ancianos, oficiales, y jueces, estaban de la una y de la otra parte junto al arca, delante de los sacerdotes Levitas que llevan el arca del pacto de Jehová; así extranjeros como naturales, la mitad de ellos estaba hacia el monte de Gerizim, y la otra mitad hacia el monte de Ebal; de la manera que Moisés, siervo de Jehová, lo había mandado antes, para que bendijesen primeramente al pueblo de Israel.
Todo Israel, con sus ancianos, oficiales y jueces, estaba de pie a ambos lados del arca, frente a los sacerdotes levitas que llevaban el arca del pacto de Jehová, tanto el extranjero como el israelita de nacimiento. La mitad estaba frente al monte Gerizim y la otra mitad frente al monte Ebal, tal como Moisés, siervo de Jehová, había mandado al principio, para bendecir al pueblo de Israel.
Tout Israël, ses anciens, ses officiers et ses juges, se tenaient des deux côtés de l'arche, devant les sacrificateurs, les Lévites, qui portaient l'arche de l'alliance de l'Eternel; les étrangers comme les enfants d'Israël étaient là, moitié du côté du mont Garizim, moitié du côté du mont Ebal, selon l'ordre qu'avait précédemment donné Moïse, serviteur de l'Eternel, de bénir le peuple d'Israël.
E tutto Israele, e i suoi Anziani, e i suoi Ufficiali, Prefetti, e i suoi Giudici, stavano in piè di qua e di là dall’Arca, dirimpetto a’ sacerdoti Leviti, che portavano l’Arca del patto del Signore; tutti dico, così forestieri, come natii d’Israele; l’una metà stava dirimpetto al monte di Gherizim, e l’altra metà dirimpetto al monte di Ebal; come Mosè, servitor del Signore, avea comandato, per benedire il popolo d’Israele la prima volta.
E todo o Israel, com os seus anciãos, e os seus príncipes, e os seus juízes, estavam de um e de outro lado da arca, perante os sacerdotes levitas, que levavam a arca da aliança do SENHOR, assim estrangeiros como naturais; metade deles em frente do monte Gerizim, e a outra metade em frente do monte Ebal, como Moisés, servo do SENHOR, ordenara, para abençoar primeiramente o povo de Israel.
以色列 眾人,無論是本地人或寄居的,都和他們的長老、官長和審判官,站在約櫃兩旁,在抬耶和華約櫃的 利未 家的祭司面前,一半對著 基利心山 ,一半對著 以巴路山 ,照耶和華的僕人 摩西 先前所吩咐的,為 以色列 百姓祝福。
