Joshua 8:33

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, the ark thus occupying the center between the two divisions of the tribes, 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, Deuteronomy 11:29; Deuteronomy 27:11, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
