Deuteronomy - ch 29 v 1 - 20
- These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab: beside that covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
- And Moses called all Israel, and said to them: You have seen all the things that the Lord did before you in the land of Egypt to Pharao, and to all his servants, and to his whole land.
- The great temptations, which thy eyes have seen, those mighty signs and wonders,
- And the Lord hath not given you al heart to understand, and eyes to see, and ears that may hear, unto this present day.
- He hath brought you forty years through the desert: your garments are not worn out, neither are the shoes of your feet consumed with age.
- You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
- And you came to this place: sand Sehon king of Hesebon, and Og king of Basan, came out against us to fight. And we slew them.
- And took their land, and delivered it for a possession to h Ruben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasses.
- Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and fulfil them: that you may understand all that you do.
- You all stand this day before the Lord your God, your princes, and tribes, and ancients, and doctors, all the people of Israel,
- 11Your children and your wives, and the stranger that abideth with thee in the camp, besides the hewers of wood, and them that bring water:
- That thou mayst pass in the covenant of the Lord thy God, and in the oath which this day the Lord thy God maketh with thee.
- That he may raise thee up a people to himself, and he may be thy God as he hath spoken to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
- Neither with you only do I make this covenant, and confirm these oaths,
- But with all that are present and that are absent.
- For you know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we have passed through the midst of nations, and passing through them,
- You have seen their abominations and filth, that is to say, their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they worshipped.
- Lest perhaps there should be among you a man or a woman, a family or a tribe, whose heart is turned away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations: and there should be among you a root bringing forth gall and bitterness.
- And when he shall hear the words of this oath, he should bless himself in his heart saying: I shall have peace, and will walk on in the naughtiness of my heart: and the drunken may consume the thirsty,
- And the Lord should not forgive him: but his wrath and jealousy against that man should be exceedingly enkindled at that time, and all the curses that are written in this volume should light upon him: and the Lord should blot out his name from under heaven,
