Joshua 8:33

Studie

       

33 Tutto Israele, i suoi anziani, i suoi ufficiali e i suoi giudici stavano in piè ai due lati dell’arca, dirimpetto ai sacerdoti levitici che portavan l’arca del patto dell’Eterno: gli stranieri come gl’Israeliti di nascita, metà dal lato del monte Garizim, metà dal lato del monte Ebal, come Mosè, servo dell’Eterno, avea da prima ordinato che si benedisse il popolo d’Israele.

796. Because the Most Ancient Church conducted holy worship on mountains, the Ancient Churches therefore did so as well. Consequently with all the representative Churches of that time, and indeed with 'the nations' too, sacrifices were offered on mountains, and high places were built. This is clear from what is said about Abram in Genesis 12:8; 22:2; about the Jews before the Temple was built, in Deuteronomy 27:4-7; Joshua 8:30; 1 Samuel 9:12-14, 19; 10:5; 1 Kings 3:2-4; about the nations, in Deuteronomy 12:2; 2 Kings 17:9-11; about the Jews, who were idolaters, in Isaiah 57:7; 1 Kings 11:7; 14:23; 22:43; 2 Kings 12:3; 14:4; 15:3-4, 34-35; 16:4; 17:9-11; 21:3, 23:5, 8, 9, 13, 15.

34 He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh; he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.

35 However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burned incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.
