2. Moses proclaimed 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 and all his servants and to all his land—
3. the great temptations which your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders.
4. Yet to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear.
5. I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.
6. You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.
7. When you came to this place, Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we defeated them.
8. We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.
9. Therefore, keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that you may prosper in all you do.
10. Today all of you stand before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
11. your little ones, your wives, and your foreigners who are in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water—
12. so that you should enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, and into His oath, which the Lord your God is making with you today.
13. Today He will establish that you are His people and that He is your God, just as He has said to you and He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14. It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and this oath,
15. but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, and with him who is not here with us today
16. (for you know that we lived in the land of Egypt and how we came through the nations which you passed by,
17. and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them);
