*
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 covenant which He made with them in Horeb .
*
Now Moses called all Israel and said to them : "
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 --
*
the great trials which your eyes have seen ,
the signs ,
and those great wonders .
*
Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear ,
to this very day .
*
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness .
Your clothes have not worn out on you ,
and your sandals have not worn out on your feet .
*
You have not eaten bread ,
nor have you drunk wine or similar drink ,
that you may know that I am the LORD your God .
*
And when you came to this place ,
Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle ,
and we conquered them .
*
We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites ,
to the Gadites ,
and to half the tribe of Manasseh .
*
Therefore keep the words of this covenant ,
and do them ,
that you may prosper in all that you do .
* "
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 ,
*
your little ones and your wives--also the stranger who is in your camp ,
from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water --
*
that you may enter into covenant with the LORD your God ,
and into His oath ,
which the LORD your God makes with you today ,
*
that He may establish you today as a people for Himself ,
and that He may be God to you ,
just as He has spoken to you ,
and just as He has sworn to your fathers ,
to Abraham ,
Isaac ,
and Jacob .
* "
I make this covenant and this oath ,
not with you alone ,
*
but with him who stands here with us today before the LORD our God ,
as well as with him who is not here with us today
* (
for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by ,
*
and you saw their abominations and their idols which were among them--wood and stone and silver and gold );
*
so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe ,
whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God ,
to go and serve the gods of these nations ,
and that there may not be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood ;
*
and so it may not happen ,
when he hears the words of this curse ,
that he blesses himself in his heart ,
saying , "
I shall have peace ,
even though I follow the dictates of my heart '--
as though the drunkard could be included with the sober .
* "
The LORD would not spare him ;
for then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy would burn against that man ,
and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him ,
and the LORD would blot out his name from under heaven .
*
And the LORD would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity ,
according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Law ,
