Deuteronomy 29:1–15

The Covenant Renewed in Moab

29¹ These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel ^cin the land of Moab, besides ^dthe covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.

²² And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: ^e“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land, ³the great ^ftrials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. ⁴But to this day ^gthe Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear. ^5hI have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet. ⁶ⁱYou have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. ⁷And when you came to this place, ^jSihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them. ⁸We took their land and ^kgave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites. ^9lTherefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper³ in all that you do.

¹⁰“You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,⁴ your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, ¹¹your little ones, your wives, and the ^msojourner who is in your camp, from ⁿthe one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, ¹²so that you may enter into the ^osworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, ¹³that he may ^pestablish you today as his people, and that ^qhe may be your God, as he promised you, and ^ras he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ¹⁴It is not with you alone ^sthat I am making this sworn covenant, ¹⁵but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, ^tand with whoever is not here with us today.
