Dedication for Real

Joshua 8:30. Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD* God of Israel on Mount Ebal, 31. as Moses the servant of the LORD* commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the scroll of the Torah (Teaching) of Moses, an altar of whole stones over which no man has lifted up any iron and they offered there burnt offerings to the LORD* and sacrificed peace offerings. 32. And he wrote a copy of the Torah (Teaching) of Moses there on the stones, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 33. And all Israel and their elders and officers and their judges stood on this side of the Ark and on that side in front of the priests, the Levites who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD*, as well as the stranger, as he who was born among them; half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD* had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel at first. 34. And afterward he read all the words of the Torah (Teaching), the blessings and curses, according to all that is written in the scroll of the Torah (Teaching). 35. There was not a word of all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before the entire congregation of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the strangers who walked among them.
