Deuteronomy:29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
These are the words of the covenant ,
which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab Mow #
ab #,
beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb .
*
And Moses called unto all Israel Yisra #
el #,
and said unto them ,
Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh Par #
oh #,
and unto all his servants ,
and unto all his land ;
*
The great temptations which thine eyes have seen ,
the signs ,
and those great miracles :
*
Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive ,
and eyes to see ,
and ears to hear ,
unto this day .
*
And I have led you forty #
arba #
iym #
years in the wilderness :
your clothes are not waxen old upon you ,
and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot .
*
Ye have not eaten bread ,
neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink :
that ye might know that I am the LORD your God .
*
And when ye came unto this place ,
Sihon the king of Heshbon ,
and Og the king of Bashan ,
came out against us unto battle ,
and we smote them :
*
And we took their land ,
and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites R @#
uwbeniy #,
and to the Gadites ,
and to the half tribe of Manasseh .
*
Keep therefore the words of this covenant ,
and do them ,
that ye may prosper in all that ye do .
*
Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God ;
your captains of your tribes ,
your elders ,
and your officers ,
with all the men of Israel Yisra #
el #,
*
Your little ones ,
your wives ,
and thy stranger that is in thy camp ,
from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water :
*
That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God ,
and into his oath ,
which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day :
*
That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself ,
and that he may be unto thee a God ,
as he hath said unto thee ,
and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers ,
to Abraham ,
to Isaac ,
and to Jacob Ya #
aqob #.
*
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath ;
*
But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God ,
and also with him that is not here with us this day :
* (
For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt ;
and how we came through the nations which ye passed by ;
*
And ye have seen their abominations ,
and their idols ,
wood and stone ,
silver and gold ,
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 a root that beareth gall and wormwood la #

*
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 drunkenness to thirst :
*
The LORD will not spare him ,
but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man ,
and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him ,
and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven .
*
And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law :
*
So that the 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 ;
*
And that the whole land thereof is brimstone ,
and salt ,
and burning ,
that it is not sown ,
nor beareth ,
nor any grass groweth therein ,
like the overthrow of Sodom ,
and Gomorrah ,
Admah ,
and Zeboim Ts @
bo #
iym #,
which the LORD overthrew in his anger ,
and in his wrath :
*
Even all nations shall say ,
Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land ?
what meaneth the heat of this great anger ?
*
Then men shall say ,
Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers ,
which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt :
*
For they went and served other gods ,
and worshipped them ,
gods whom they knew not ,
and whom he had not given unto them :
*
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land ,
to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book :
*
And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger ,
and in wrath ,
and in great indignation ,
and cast them into another land ,
as it is this day .
*
The 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 .
