SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:9
Y Moisés, con los sacerdotes levitas, habló a todo Israel, diciendo: Atiende y escucha, Israel: hoy eres hecho pueblo del SEÑOR tu Dios.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel , etc.] The priests who were Levites, as all the priests that were lawful ones were; and there were none but such at this time, who were. Eleazar and Ithamar, and their sons; these joined with Moses in the following exhortations to the people of Israel, as being particularly concerned in instructing them in the knowledge of the laws, and in seeing them put in execution: saying, take heed, and hearken, O Israel ; to what was about to be said unto them, as well as to what had: been said: this day thou art become the people of the Lord thy God ; they were his people before; he had chosen them to be his special people above all others; he had redeemed them out of Egypt; he had led them through the wilderness, and provided for them and protected them there, and had given them laws and statutes to observe to walk in; all which showed them to be his peculiar people: but now in a very formal and solemn manner they were avouched and declared by him to be his people, and they had solemnly avouched and declared that he was their God and King; and every day, according to Jarchi, was to be considered as this day, as if it was the day of entering into covenant with him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - As soon as they were come into Canaan, they must set up a monument, of which they must write the words of this law. They must set up an altar The word and prayer must go together. Though they might not, of their own heads, set up any altar besides that at the tabernacle; yet, by the appointment of God, they might, upon special occasion. This altar mus be made of unhewn stones, such as they found upon the field. Christ our Altar, is a stone cut out of the mountain without hands, refused by the builders, as having no form or comeliness, but accepted of God the Father, and made the Head of the corner. In the Old Testament the word of the law are written, with the curse annexed; which would overcome u with horror, if we had not, in the New Testament, an altar erecte close by, which gives consolation. Blessed be God, the printed copie of the Scriptures among us, do away the necessity of such methods a were presented to Israel. The end of the gospel ministry is, and the end of preachers ought to be, to make the word of God as plain a possible. Yet, unless the Spirit of God prosper such labours with Divine power, we shall not, even by these means, be made wise unt salvation: for this blessing we should therefore daily and earnestl pray.
