The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:2

On the day when ye shall pass over Jordan ; i . e . at the time ; "day" is here used in a wide sense (cf. Genesis 2:4 ; Numbers 3:1 ; 2 Samuel 22:1 ; Ecclesiastes 12:3 ; Isaiah 11:10 , etc.). Thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaster them with plaster, The stones, the number of which is not specified, were to be large, because much was to be inscribed upon them, and they were to be covered with a coating of lime or gypsum ( שִׂיַד ), in order to secure a smooth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:3

All the words of this law ; i . e . all the purely legislative parts of the Mosaic institute. By the "Law" here cannot be intended merely the blessings and the curses afterwards mentioned ( Deuteronomy 27:14-26 ); nor is there any reason why this term should be restricted to the precepts of this Book of Deuteronomy, as if they only were to be inscribed on the stones: the term must be extended so as to cover all that Moses had at any time delivered to Israel as a law from God. It is not... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 27:2

The stones here named are not those of which the altar Deuteronomy 27:5 was to be built, but are to serve as a separate monument witnessing to the fact that the people took possession of the land by virtue of the Law inscribed on them and with an acknowledgment of its obligations. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 27:3

All the words of this law - i. e. all the laws revealed from God to the people by Moses, regarded by the Jews as 613 (compare Numbers 15:38 note). The exhibition of laws in this manner on stones, pillars, or tables, was familiar to the ancients. The laws were probably graven in the stone (“very plainly,” Deuteronomy 27:8 is by some rendered “scoop it out well”), as are for the most part the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the “plaister” being afterward added to protect the inscription from the weather. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 27:2-3

Deuteronomy 27:2-3. On the day Here it is evident the word day does not signify precisely the very same day they passed over, but some indefinite time after, namely, as soon as they were come to mount Ebal, (Deuteronomy 27:4,) after the taking of Jericho and Ai. See Joshua 8:30. All the words of this law Some have thought that he means the whole book of Deuteronomy. But they must have been immense stones to have contained this. It is more probable that only the ten commandments are... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 27:1-26

27:1-30:20 CONDITIONS OF THE COVENANTThe listing of blessings and curses at the end of the covenant document is again in keeping with the form of ancient Near Eastern treaties. God in his sovereign grace had chosen Israel as his people and preserved them. In gratitude the people were to be obedient to God’s commands, and in doing so they would enjoy fellowship with him and blessing in their national life. Disobedience, on the other hand, would bring his judgment upon them, so that they might... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 27:2

Ver. 2. On the day when ye shall pass over Jordan— Day here, as well as in the former verse, signifies time. See Joshua 8:30. It is not said how many great stones they were to set up; neither can we determine their number, unless we knew exactly how much of the law was to be written, whether the whole book of Deuteronomy, or only the ten commandments, or the curses and the blessings. They are ordered to plaister over these stones with plaister. This plaister has been generally understood, as... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 27:3

Ver. 3. All the words of this law— But what law? it may be asked. They must have been immense stones to have contained the whole book of Deuteronomy, much more the whole Pentateuch: either therefore the ten commandments, or the blessings and curses, must be meant. 1. Mr. Locke says, all the words, &c. means the decalogue; and Dr. Kennicott also is for the ten commandments, that divine system of the moral law, which, he says, may be well called the law, by way of eminence. In this sense the... read more
