신명기 27:4의 주석

V. 4. בהר עיבל (siehe zu Kap. 11, 29 u. 30).

תקימו את האבנים האלה, “you shall set up these stones.” This verse refers to the stones mentioned in verse two.

בהר עיבל, “at Mount Eyval.” In order to pacify the tribes that had been ordered to stand on Mount Eyval while listening to the curses, Moses ordered the building of an altar of stones to be built there on which burnt offerings were to be offered [This is the only time we hear about burnt offerings being offered other than on the altar at the entrance to the Tabernacle, inside its compound for the last 39 years. Ed.] Also peace offerings were to be offered there, i.e. offerings that in the main were eaten by the people at large, not the priests and their households. This would convince the tribes lined up there that the presence of the Lord was as much in evidence there as above the Tabernacle itself.
