The Covenant in Moab

29THESE ARE the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.H1697H1285H3068H6680H4872H3772H1121H3478H776H4124H1285H3772H2722

2Moses called to all Israel and said to them, You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land;H4872H7121H3478H559H7200H3068H6213H5869H776H4714H6547H5650H776

3The great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.H1419H4531H5869H7200H226H1419H4159

4Yet the Lord has not given you a [mind and] heart to understand and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this day.H3068H5414H3820H3045H5869H7200H241H8085H3117

5I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out upon you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.H3212H705H8141H4057H8008H1086H5275H1086H7272

6You have not eaten [grain] bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you might recognize {and} know [your dependence on Him Who is saying], I am the Lord your God.H398H3899H8354H3196H7941H3045H3068H430

7And when you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them.H935H4725H5511H4428H2809H5747H4428H1316H3318H7125H4421H5221

8We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.H3947H776H5414H5159H7206H1425H2677H7626H4520

9Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may deal wisely {and} prosper in all that you do.H8104H1697H1285H6213H7919H6213

10All of you stand today before the Lord your God--your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,H5324H3117H6440H3068H430H7218H7626H2205H7860H376H3478

11Your little ones, your wives, and the stranger {and} sojourner in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water--H2945H802H1616H7130H4264H2404H6086H7579H4325

12That you may enter into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into His oath which He makes with you today,H5674H1285H3068H430H423H3068H430H3772H3117

13That He may establish you this day as a people for Himself, and that He may be to you a God as He said to you and as He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.H6965H3117H5971H430H1696H7650H1H85H3327H3290

14It is not with you only that I make this sworn covenantH3772H1285H423

15But with future Israelites who do not stand here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are here with us this day.H5975H3426H3117H6440H3068H430H3117

16You know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we came through the midst of the nations you crossed.H3045H3427H776H4714H5674H7130H1471H5674

17And you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them.H7200H8251H1544H6086H68H3701H2091

18Beware lest there should be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose [mind and] heart turns away this day from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a [poisonous] root that bears gall and wormwood,H3426H376H802H4940H7626H3824H6437H3117H3068H430H3212H5647H430H1471H3426H8328H6509H7219H3939

19And lest, when he hears the words of this curse {and} oath, he flatters {and} congratulates himself in his [mind and] heart, saying, I shall have peace {and} safety, though I walk in the stubbornness of my [mind and] heart [bringing down a hurricane of destruction] and sweep away the watered land with the dry.H8085H1697H423H1288H3824H559H7965H3588H3212H8307H3820H5595H7302H6771

20The Lord will not pardon him, but then the anger of the Lord and His jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall settle on him; the Lord will blot out his very name from under the heavens.H3068H14H5545H639H3068H7068H6225H376H423H3789H5612H7257H3068H4229H8034H8064

21And the Lord will single him out for ruin {and} destruction from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Law,H3068H914H7451H7626H3478H423H1285H3789H5612H8451

22So that the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of this land and the diseases with which the Lord has made it sick--H1755H314H1121H6965H310H5237H935H7350H776H559H7200H4347H776H8463H3068H2470

23The whole land is brimstone and salt and a burned waste, not sown or bearing anything, where no grass can take root, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and wrath--H776H1614H4417H8316H2232H6779H6212H5927H4114H5467H6017H126H6636H3068H2015H639H2534

24Even all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?H1471H559H3068H6213H776H2750H1419H639

25Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Egypt.H559H5800H1285H3068H430H1H3772H3318H776H4714

26For they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they knew not and that He had not given to them.H3212H5647H312H430H7812H430H3045H2505

27So the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses that are written in this book.H639H3068H2734H776H935H7045H3789H5612

28And the Lord rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath and in great indignation and cast them into another land, as it is this day.H3068H5428H127H639H2534H1419H7110H7993H312H776H3117

29The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law.H5641H3068H430H1540H1121H5704H5769H6213H1697H8451
