📚 Historical Context
This command was given as the Israelites were preparing to enter the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness. Moses instructed them to set up large stones on Mount Ebal and cover them with plaster, then write God's laws on them as a permanent, public display. This was part of a covenant renewal ceremony where the people would recommit themselves to following God's commands in their new homeland.
