These are the wordsof the covenant, whichthe LORDcommandedMosesto makewiththe childrenof Israelin the landof Moab, besidethe covenantwhichhe madewiththem in Horeb. And MosescalleduntoallIsrael, and saiduntothem, Yehave seenallthatthe LORDdidbefore your eyesin the landof Egyptunto Pharaoh, and unto allhis servants, and unto allhis land; The greattemptationswhichthine eyeshave seen, the signs, and thosegreatmiracles: Yet the LORDhath notgivenyou a heartto perceive, and eyesto see, and earsto hear, untothisday. And I have ledyou fortyyearsin the wilderness: your clothesare notwaxen olduponyou, and thy shoeis notwaxen olduponthy foot. Ye have noteatenbread, neitherhave ye drunkwineor strong drink: thatye might knowthatI am the LORDyour God. And when ye cameuntothisplace, Sihonthe kingof Heshbon, and Ogthe kingof Bashan, came outagainstus unto battle, and we smotethem: And we tooktheir land, and gaveit for an inheritanceunto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the halftribeof Manasseh. Keeptherefore the wordsof thiscovenant, and dothem, thatye may prosperin allthatye do. Yestandthis dayallof you beforethe LORDyour God; your captainsof your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with allthe menof Israel, Your little ones, your wives, and thy strangerthat is inthy camp, from the hewerof thy wooduntothe drawerof thy water: That thou shouldest enterinto covenantwith the LORDthy God, and into his oath, whichthe LORDthy Godmakethwiththee this day: Thathe may establishthee todayfor a peopleunto himself, and that hemay beunto thee a God, ashe hath saidunto thee, and ashe hath swornunto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. Neitherwithyou onlydo Imakethiscovenantand thisoath; Butwith him thatstandethherewithus this daybeforethe LORDour God, and also with him that is notherewithus this day: ( Foryeknowhowwe have dweltin the landof Egypt; and howwe camethroughthe nationswhichye passed by; And ye have seentheir abominations, and their idols, woodand stone, silverand gold, which were amongthem:) Lestthere should beamong you man, orwoman, orfamily, ortribe, whoseheartturneth awaythis dayfromthe LORDour God, to go and servethe godsof thesenations; lestthere should beamong you a rootthat bearethgalland wormwood; And it come to pass, when he heareththe wordsof thiscurse, that he bless himselfin his heart, saying, I shall havepeace, thoughI walkin the imaginationof mine heart, toadddrunkennesstothirst: The LORDwillnotsparehim, butthenthe angerof the LORDand his jealousyshall smokeagainst thatman, and allthe cursesthat are writtenin thisbookshall lieupon him, and the LORDshall blot outhis namefrom underheaven. And the LORDshall separatehim unto evilout of allthe tribesof Israel, according to allthe cursesof the covenantthat are writtenin thisbookof the law: So that the generationto comeof your childrenthatshall rise upafteryou, and the strangerthatshall comefrom a farland, shall say, when they seethe plaguesof thatland, and the sicknesseswhichthe LORDhath laidupon it; And that the wholelandthereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is notsown, norbeareth, noranygrassgroweththerein, like the overthrowof Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, whichthe LORDoverthrewin his anger, and in his wrath: Even allnationsshall say, Whereforehath the LORDdonethusunto thisland? what meaneth the heatof thisgreatanger? Then men shall say, Becausethey have forsakenthe covenantof the LORDGodof their fathers, whichhe madewiththem when he brought them forthout of the landof Egypt: For they wentand servedothergods, and worshipedthem, godswhomthey knewnot, and whom he had notgivenunto them: And the angerof the LORDwas kindledagainst thisland, to bringuponit allthe cursesthat are writtenin thisbook: And the LORDrooted them outoftheir landin anger, and in wrath, and in greatindignation, and castthem intoanotherland, as it is thisday. The secret things belong unto the LORDour God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our childrenforever, that we may doallthe wordsof thislaw.
