Joshua 8:32 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. A copy of the law of Moses - משנה תורת mishneh torath, the repetition of the law; that is, a copy of the blessings and curses, as commanded by Moses; not a copy of the Decalogue, as some imagine, nor of the book of Deuteronomy, as others think; much less of the whole Pentateuch; but merely of that part which contained the blessings and curses, and which was to be read on this solemn occasion. See the note on Deuteronomy 27:3.
