Follow the Terms of the Covenant
29These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded me to make with the people of Israel in Moab. The terms were added to the covenant he had made with them at Mount Horeb.
2I sent for all of the Israelites. Here is what I said to them.
With your own eyes you have seen everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh. You have seen what he did to all of Pharaoh’s officials and to his whole land. 3With your own eyes you saw how the Lord really made them suffer. You saw his miraculous signs and great wonders.
4But to this very day the Lord hasn’t given you a mind that understands. He hasn’t given you eyes that see. He hasn’t given you ears that hear.
5He led you through the desert for 40 years. During that time your clothes didn’t wear out. The sandals on your feet didn’t wear out either. 6You didn’t eat any bread. You didn’t drink any kind of wine. The Lord did all of those things because he wanted you to know that he is the Lord your God.
7When we got here, Sihon and Og came out to fight against us. Sihon was the king of Heshbon. And Og was the king of Bashan. But we won the battle over them. 8We took their land. We gave it to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh as their share.
9Be careful to obey the terms of this covenant. Then you will have success in everything you do.
10Today all of you are standing here in the sight of the Lord your God. Your leaders and chief men are here. Your elders and officials are here. So are all of the other men of Israel. 11Your children and wives are here with you too. So are the outsiders who are living in your camps. They chop your wood and carry your water.
12All of you are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God. He is making the covenant with you today. He’s sealing it with an oath. 13Today he wants to show you that you are his people and that he is your God. That’s what he promised with an oath to your fathers. He promised it to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14I’m making this covenant. I’m sealing it with an oath. I’m not making it only with you 15who are standing here with us today in the sight of the Lord our God. I’m also making it with those who aren’t here today.
