Deut. 29:1‑15• 1These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.
 2And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:
 3the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
 4But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
 5And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;
 6ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God.
 7And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
 8And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.
 9Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
 10Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God: your chiefs of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
 11your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
 12that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
 13that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and that he may be to thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
 14Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
 15but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day (Deut. 29:1‑15)
