📚 Historical Context
In the book of Deuteronomy, Moses instructed the Israelites to write the words of the law on large stones as they prepared to enter the Promised Land, which was part of a covenant renewal ceremony at Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim. This act served as a visible reminder of God's laws and their commitment to follow them, ensuring the law was accessible to all tribes after crossing the Jordan River. The emphasis on writing it "very plainly" highlighted the importance of clarity in communicating God's commands to an entire nation.
