Upon the stones - Not upon the stones of the altar, which were to be rough and unpolished, Jos 8:31, but upon other stones, smooth and plaistered, as is manifest from Deu 27:2. The law of Moses - Not certainly the whole five books of Moses, for what stones and time would have sufficed for this, but the most weighty parts of the law, and especially the law of the ten commandments. Joshua 8:33
