This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jos_8:31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up [any] iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
Ver. 31. Over which no man hath llft up any iron.] To polish or garnish it; for this was to defile it. {Exo_20:25 Deu_27:5} In God’s service we must neither be curious nor careless. Holy things must be handled Sancte magis quam scite, neither is it for men to worship God as they please.
