* These [are ] the (note :)That is , the articles , or conditions .(:note ) words of the covenant , which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab , beside the covenant which he made with them in At the first giving of the law , which was forty years earlier . Horeb . * And Moses called all Israel , and said vnto them , Ye haue seene all that the Lorde did before your eyes in the lande of Egypt vnto Pharaoh and vnto all his seruantes , and vnto all his lande , * The (note :)The proofs of my power .(:note ) great temptations which thine eyes have seen , the signs , and those great miracles : * Yet the LORD hath not (note :)He shows that it is not in man 's power to understand the mysteries of God if it is not given to him from above .(:note ) given you an heart to perceive , and eyes to see , and ears to hear , unto this day . * And I haue led you fourty yere in the wildernesse : your clothes are not waxed olde vpon you , neyther is thy shooe waxed olde vpon thy foote . * Ye have not eaten (note :)Made by man 's art , but manna , which is called the bread of angels .(:note ) bread , neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink : that ye might know that I [am ] the LORD your God . * After , ye came vnto this place , and Sihon King of Heshbon , and Og King of Bashan came out against vs vnto battell , and we slewe them , * And tooke their lande , and gaue it for an inheritance vnto the Reubenites , and to the Gadites , and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh . * Keepe therefore the wordes of this couenant and doe them , that ye may prosper in all that ye shall doe . * Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your (note :)Who knows your hearts , and therefore you may not think to conceal from him .(:note ) God ; your captains of your tribes , your elders , and your officers , [with ] all the men of Israel , * Your children , your wiues , and thy stranger that is in thy campe from the hewer of thy wood , vnto the drawer of thy water , * That thou shouldest (note :)Alluding to them , that when they made a sure covenant , divided a beast in two , and past between the parts divided , ( Gen_15:10 ).(:note ) enter into covenant with the LORD thy God , and into his oath , which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day : * For to establish thee this day a people vnto him selfe , and that he may be vnto thee a God , as he hath said vnto thee , and as he hath sworne vnto thy fathers , Abraham , Izhak , and Iaakob . * Neither make I this couenant , &amp ; this othe with you onely , * But with [him ] that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God , and also with [him ] (note :)Meaning , their posterity .(:note ) that [is ] not here with us this day : * For ye knowe , how we haue dwelt in the land of Egypt , and how we passed thorowe the middes of the nations , which ye passed by . * And ye haue seene their abominations and their idoles (wood , and stone , siluer and golde ) which were among them , * Lest there should be among you man , or woman , or family , or tribe , whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God , to go [and ] serve the gods of these nations ; lest there should be among you (note :)Such sin , as the bitter fruit of it might choke and destroy you .(:note ) a root that beareth gall and wormwood ; * And it come to pass , when he heareth the words of this curse , that he bless himself in his heart , saying , I shall have peace , though I walk in the imagination of mine heart , to add (note :)For as he that is thirsty desires to drink much so he that follows his appetites seeks by all means and yet cannot be satisfied .(:note ) drunkenness to thirst : * The Lord will not be mercifull vnto him , but then the wrath of the Lorde and his ielousie shall smoke against that man , and euery curse that is written in this booke , shall light vpon him , and the Lorde shall put out his name from vnder heauen , * And the Lord shall separate him vnto euil out of all the tribes of Israel , according vnto all the curses of the couenant , that is written in the booke of this Lawe . * So that the (note :)God 's plagues on those who rebel against him will be so strong , that all ages will be astonished .(:note ) generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you , and the stranger that shall come from a far land , shall say , when they see the plagues of that land , and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it ; * (For all that land shall burne with brimstone and salt : it shall not be sowen , nor bring forth , nor any grasse shall growe therein , like as in the ouerthrowing of Sodom , and Gomorah , Admah , and Zeboim , which the Lord ouerthrewe in his wrath and in his anger ) * Then shall all nations say , Wherefore hath the Lorde done thus vnto this lande ? how fierce is this great wrath ? * And they shall answere , Because they haue forsaken the couenant of the Lorde God of their fathers , which he had made with them , when he brought them out of the land of Egypt , * And went and serued other gods and worshipped them : euen gods which they knewe not , and which had giuen them nothing , * Therefore the wrath of the Lorde waxed hot against this land , to bring vpon it euery curse that is written in this booke . * And ye Lord hath rooted them out of their land in anger , and in wrath , and in great indignation , and hath cast them into another land , as appeareth this day . * The (note :)Moses by this proves their curiosity , who seek those things that are only known to God : and their negligence who do not regard that which God has revealed to them , as the law .(:note ) secret [things belong ] unto the LORD our God : but those [things which are ] revealed [belong ] unto us and to our children for ever , that [we ] may do all the words of this law .
