Deuteronomy 29:1–15

The Covenant Renewed in Moab

29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the acovenant which He made with them in Horeb.

2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: b“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—3 cthe great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet dthe Lord has not given you a heart to 1perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 eAnd I have led you forty years in the wilderness. fYour clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 gYou have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, hSihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and igave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore jkeep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may kprosper in all that you do.

10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from lthe one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water—12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and minto His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may nestablish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, ojust as He has spoken to you, and pjust as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 “I make this covenant and this oath, qnot with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, ras well as with him who is not here with us today
