Deuteronomy 29

¹These [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 Choreb.

²And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, Ye have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;

²And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, You⌃ have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;

³the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

³the great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

⁴Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.

⁵And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off your feet.

⁶Ye did not eat bread, ye did not drink wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I [am] the Lord your God.

⁶You⌃ did not eat bread, you⌃ did not drink wine or strong drink, that you⌃ might know that I [am] the Lord your God.

⁷And ye came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.

⁷And you⌃ came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.

⁸And we smote them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.

⁸And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.

⁹And ye shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that ye may understand all things that ye shall do.

⁹And you⌃ shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that you⌃ may understand all things that you⌃ shall do.

¹⁰Ye all stand to-day before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,

¹⁰You⌃ all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,

¹¹your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,

¹²that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord thy God appoints thee this day;

¹²that you should enter into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord your God appoints you this day;

¹³that he may appoint thee to himself for a people, and he shall be thy God, as he said to thee, and as he sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.

¹³that he may appoint you to himself for a people, and he shall be your God, as he said to you, and as he swore to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.

¹⁴And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath;

¹⁵but to those also who are here with you to-day before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you to-day.

¹⁵but to those also who are here with you today before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you today.

¹⁶For ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom ye came.

¹⁶For you⌃ know how we lived in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom you⌃ came.

¹⁷And ye beheld their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.

¹⁷And you⌃ saw their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.

¹⁸Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.

¹⁹And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [him]:

²⁰God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.

²¹And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.

²²And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it,

²³brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger:)—

²⁴and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?

²⁵And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:

²⁶and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to them.

²⁷And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.

²⁸And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.

²⁹The secret things [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
