Verse 33

All Israel, along with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the Lord, facing the Levitical priests who were carrying it. Both the sojourner and the native-born were present. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half stood in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel.
