Deuteronomy 27:1‑10 • 1 min. read • grade level: 6

Pay particular attention to the first ten verses and keep them completely separate in your mind before reading the rest of the chapter.

V.1-10 Here we read of the people of God, after 40 years of wilderness life, at last entering the land of promise. It was true that they were sinners, and because of this they needed the brazen altar and that of what it is a picture — the cross of Christ. The picture before us is of people accepted by God. Nothing remained but to bring the “burnt offering” and the “peace offering” to God. No need of the “sin offering.” All that was settled. Now only to worship! Isn’t that beautiful?

V.9 What a position to be in!

V.8, 10 All they needed to do was to obey the law; so to help them, the ten commandments were written on the stones (Ex. 24:12¹²And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them. (Exodus 24:12)).

BUT NOW A CONTRAST.
