- ut possis in eis scribere omnia verba legis hujus, Jordane transmisso : ut introëas terram, quam Dominus Deus tuus dabit tibi, terram lacte et melle manantem, sicut juravit patribus tuis.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ γράψεις ἐπὶ τῶν λίθων τούτων πάντας τούς λόγους τοῦ νόμου τούτου, ὡς ἂν διαβῆτε τὸν Ἰορδάνην, ἡνίκα ἐὰν εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σου δίδωσίν σοι, γῆν ῥέουσαν γάλα καὶ μέλι, ὃν τρόπον εἶπεν Κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων σού σοι.

Haydock's commentary
That, &c. Hebrew and Septuagint, "And thou shalt write upon them (stones) all the words of," &c. (Haydock)
This law, the decalogue, (Masius in Josue viii. 32,) or all the laws of Moses, leaving out the historical parts of his work, or the 20th and three following chapters of Exodus, or the discourses of Moses in this book, &c. Josue, in effect, wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which Josephus explains of the curses and blessings inscribed upon the two sides of the monument, as an abridgment of the whole law. (Calmet)
The Jordan is not in Hebrew expressly, but in the Septuagint. After the Israelites had crossed this river, they were thus to make a solemn profession of their adherence to the law of God, (Haydock) as they did (ver. 12,) after they had taken Hai; though Josephus insinuates, that they deferred for five years the accomplishment of what is here required. (Tirinus)
