Deuteronomy 29:1-13 ▼

1 These [are] the words of the covenant which YHWH has commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

2 And Moses calls to all Israel and says to them, “You have seen all that which YHWH has done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land—

3 the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

4 And YHWH has not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.

5 And I cause you to go in a wilderness [for] forty years; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and your shoe has not worn away from off your foot;

6 you have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine and strong drink, so that you know that I [am] your God YHWH.

7 And you come to this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon—also Og king of Bashan—comes out to meet us to battle, and we strike them,

8 and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of the Manassite;

9 and you have kept the words of this covenant and done them, so that you cause all that you do to prosper.

10 You are standing today, all of you, before your God YHWH: your heads, your tribes, your elderly, and your authorities, every man of Israel,

11 your infants, your wives, and your sojourner who [is] in the midst of your camps, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water,

12 for your passing over into the covenant of your God YHWH, and into His oath which your God YHWH is making with you today,

13 in order to establish you to Himself for a people today, and He Himself is your God, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
