7. And when ye came unto this place, Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them;
8. and we took their land and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9. Thou shalt keep, therefore, the words of this covenant and do them that ye may understand all that ye do.
10. Ye stand today, all of you, before the Lord your God, your princes of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11. your little ones, your wives, and thy strangers that dwell within thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water,
