Deuteronomy 29:1-17 ▼

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

2 And Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “You? have seen all that YHWH did before your? eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land—

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

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

5 And I have led you? forty years in the wilderness; your? garments have not worn out from you?, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.

9 And you? shall keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that in all that you? do you? may prosper.

11 your? little ones, and your? wives, and the sojourner who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water—

12 that you may enter into the covenant of YHWH your God and into His oath, which YHWH your God makes with you today,

13 so that He may establish you today as a people unto Himself, and that He may be unto you God, as He has spoken to you and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 And not with you? alone am I cutting this covenant and this oath,

15 but with those who are here with us today standing before the face of YHWH our God, and with him who is not here with us today.

16 For you? know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we passed over in the midst of the nations that you? passed over.

17 And you? saw their abominations, and their idols—wood and stone and silver and gold—that were among them,
