Deuteronomy 29:1-13 ▼

1 These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them at Horeb.

2 And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and all his servants, and to all his land;

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

4 Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear.

5 And I have led you in the wilderness for forty years; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.

6 You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or other strong drink, in order that you might know that I am the LORD your God.

7 When you reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we defeated them;

8 and we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.

9 So you will keep the words of this covenant and do them, in order that you may be successful in everything that you do.

10 “You stand today, all of you, before the LORD your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders and your officers, that is, all the men of Israel,

11 your little ones, your wives, and the stranger who is within your camps, from the one who gathers your firewood to the one who draws your water,

12 so that you may enter into the covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath which the LORD your God is making with you today,

13 in order that He may establish you today as His people, and that He may be your God, just as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
