These are the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285, which the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 to makeH3772 with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the landH776 of MoabH4124, beside the covenantH1285 which he madeH3772 with them in HorebH2722.
And MosesH4872 calledH7121 unto all IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto them, Ye have seenH7200 all that the LORDH3068 didH6213 before your eyesH5869 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto PharaohH6547, and unto all his servantsH5650, and unto all his landH776;
The greatH1419 temptationsH4531 which thine eyesH5869 have seenH7200, the signsH226, and those greatH1419 miraclesH4159:
Yet the LORDH3068 hath not givenH5414 you an heartH3820 to perceiveH3045, and eyesH5869 to seeH7200, and earsH241 to hearH8085, unto this dayH3117.
And I have ledH3212 you fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057: your clothesH8008 are not waxen oldH1086 upon you, and thy shoeH5275 is not waxen oldH1086 upon thy footH7272.
Ye have not eatenH398 breadH3899, neither have ye drunkH8354 wineH3196 or strong drinkH7941: that ye might knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
And when ye cameH935 unto this placeH4725, SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316, came outH3318 againstH7125 us unto battleH4421, and we smoteH5221 them:
And we tookH3947 their landH776, and gaveH5414 it for an inheritanceH5159 unto the ReubenitesH7206, and to the GaditesH1425, and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of ManassehH4520.
KeepH8104 therefore the wordsH1697 of this covenantH1285, and doH6213 them, that ye may prosperH7919 in all that ye doH6213.
Ye standH5324 this dayH3117 all of you beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 your GodH430; your captainsH7218 of your tribesH7626, your eldersH2205, and your officersH7860, with all the menH376 of IsraelH3478,
Your little onesH2945, your wivesH802, and thy strangerH1616 that is inH7130 thy campH4264, from the hewerH2404 of thy woodH6086 unto the drawerH7579 of thy waterH4325:
That thou shouldest enterH5674 into covenantH1285 with the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, and into his oathH423, which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 makethH3772 with thee this dayH3117: {enter: Heb. pass}
That he may establishH6965 thee to dayH3117 for a peopleH5971 unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 unto thee, and as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290.
Neither with you only do I makeH3772 this covenantH1285 and this oathH423;
But with him that standethH5975 here with us thisH3426 dayH3117 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 our GodH430, and also with him that is not here with us this dayH3117:
(For ye knowH3045 how we have dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and how we cameH5674 throughH7130 the nationsH1471 which ye passed byH5674;
And ye have seenH7200 their abominationsH8251, and their idolsH1544, woodH6086 and stoneH68, silverH3701 and goldH2091, which were among them:) {idols: Heb. dungy gods}
Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from the LORDH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939; {gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh}
And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085 the wordsH1697 of this curseH423, that he blessH1288 himself in his heartH3824, sayingH559, I shall have peaceH7965, thoughH3588 I walkH3212 in the imaginationH8307 of mine heartH3820, to addH5595 drunkennessH7302 to thirstH6771: {imagination: or, stubbornness} {drunkenness…: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty}
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
And the LORDH3068 shall separateH914 him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 of the lawH8451: {are: Heb. is}
So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965 afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935 from a farH7350 landH776, shall sayH559, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776, and the sicknessesH8463 which the LORDH3068 hath laidH2470 upon it; {which…: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick}
And that the whole landH776 thereof is brimstoneH1614, and saltH4417, and burningH8316, that it is not sownH2232, nor bearethH6779, nor any grassH6212 growethH5927 therein, like the overthrowH4114 of SodomH5467, and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126, and ZeboimH6636, which the LORDH3068 overthrewH2015 in his angerH639, and in his wrathH2534:
Even all nationsH1471 shall sayH559, Wherefore hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776? what meaneth the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 angerH639?
Then men shall sayH559, Because they have forsakenH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of their fathersH1, which he madeH3772 with them when he brought them forthH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714:
For they wentH3212 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshippedH7812 them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045 not, and whom he had not givenH2505 unto them: {whom he…: or, who had not given to them any portion} {given: Heb. divided}
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against this landH776, to bringH935 upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612:
And the LORDH3068 rootedH5428 them out of their landH127 in angerH639, and in wrathH2534, and in greatH1419 indignationH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is this dayH3117.
The secretH5641 things belong unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430: but those things which are revealedH1540 belong unto us and to our childrenH1121 forH5704 everH5769, that we may doH6213 all the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451.
