The fifth year was now past, and there was not one of the Canaanites
remained any longer, excepting some that had retired to places of great
strength. So Joshua removed his camp to the mountainous country, and placed
the tabernacle in the city of Shiloh, for that seemed a fit place for it,
because of the beauty of its situation, until such thee as their affairs
would permit them to build a temple; and from thence he went to Shechem,
together with all the people, and raised an altar where Moses had beforehand
directed; then did he divide the army, and placed one half of them on Mount
Gerizzim, and the other half on Mount Ebal, on which mountain the altar
was; he also placed there the tribe of Levi, and the priests. And when
they had sacrificed, and denounced the [blessings and the] curses, and
had left them engraven upon the altar, they returned to Shiloh.
