29^a These are the words of the covenant that Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the Israelites^b in the land of Moab besides^c the covenant that he made with them at Horeb.

²And Moses summoned all of Israel and said to them, “You saw all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt and to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land; ³that is, the great trials that your eyes saw, and those great signs and wonders. ⁴But Yahweh has not given to you a heart to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear, even to this day.^d ⁵And I have led you forty years^e in the desert; your clothes have not worn out on you,^f and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.^g ⁶You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine and strong drink, so that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. ⁷And when you came to this place then Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out to meet you for battle, and we defeated them. ⁸And we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites^h and to the Gaditesⁱ and to the half-tribe of Manasseh. ⁹And you must diligently observe the words of this covenant,^j so that you may succeed in all that you do.

¹⁰“You are standing today,^k all of you, before^l Yahweh your God, your leaders, your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel, ¹¹your little children, your women and your aliens^m who are in the midst of your camp, from the choppersⁿ of your wood to the drawers^o of your water, ¹²in order for you to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God,^p and into^q his oath that Yahweh your God is making with you^r today,^s ¹³in order to establish you today^t to himself^u as a people and so that he may be for you as God, just as he promised^v to you and just as^w he swore to your ancestors,^x to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁴“Now I am not making this covenant^y and this oath with you alone.^z ¹⁵But with whoever is standing here^a with us today^b before^c Yahweh our God, and with whoever is not standing here^d with us today.^e
