6. ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah your God
7. And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
8. And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.
9. Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10. Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God your chiefs of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
11. your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
12. that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
13. that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and that he may be to thee a God as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14. Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
15. but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God and with him that is not here with us this day
16. (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
17. and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
18. lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
19. and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.
