24 Da Israel nu havde hugget alle Ajs Indbyggere ned på åben Mark, på Skråningen, hvor de forfulgte dem, og de alle til sidste Mand var faldet for Sværdet, vendte hele Israel tilbage til Aj og slog det med Sværdet.

29 Men Kongen af Aj hængte han på en Pæl og lod ham hænge til Aften; og da Solen gik ned, tog man på Josuas Befaling hans Lig ned af Pælen og kastede det hen ved Indgangen til Byens Port. Og man opkastede over ham en stor Stendysse, som står der den Dag i Dag.

Then he built Joshua an altar to Yahweh [the] God of Israel on [the] mountain of Ebal.
31 som HERRENs Tjener Moses havde pålagt Israeliterne, i Overensstemmelse med, hvad der står skrevet i Moses's Lovbog, et Alter af utilhugne Sten, hvor over der ikke var svunget Jern; og de bragte HERREN Brændofre og ofrede Takofre der.

And he wrote there on the stones copy of [the] law of Moses which he had written before [the] people of Israel.
33 idet hele Israel og dets Ældste, Tilsynsmænd og Dommere stod på begge Sider af Arken lige over for Levitpræsterne, som bar HERRENs Pagts Ark, de fremmede såvel som de indfødte, den ene Halvdel hen imod Garizims Bjerg, den anden Halvdel hen imod Ebals Bjerg, således som HERRENs Tjener Moses forhen havde påbudt at velsigne Israels Folk.
And all Israel and elders its and officials - and judges its [were] standing from this - and from this - of the ark before the priests the Levites [the] bearers of - [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh as the sojourner as the native half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Gerizim and half of it to [the] front of [the] mountain of Ebal just as he had commanded Moses [the] servant of Yahweh to bless the people Israel at the former [time].
34 Så oplæste han alle Lovens Ord, Velsignelsen og Forbandelsen, alt som det var skrevet i Lovbogen;
And after thus he read aloud all [the] words of the law the blessing and the curse according to every [thing] written in [the] book of the law.
