1. These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded me to make with the people of Israel in Moab. The terms were added to the covenant he had made with them at Mount Horeb.
2. I sent for all of the Israelites. Here is what I said to them. With your own eyes you have seen everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh. You have seen what he did to all of Pharaoh's officials and to his whole land.
3. With your own eyes you saw how the Lord really made them suffer. You saw his miraculous signs and great wonders.
4. But to this very day the Lord hasn't given you a mind that understands. He hasn't given you eyes that see. He hasn't given you ears that hear.
5. He led you through the desert for 40 years. During that time your clothes didn't wear out. The sandals on your feet didn't wear out either.
6. You didn't eat any bread. You didn't drink any kind of wine. The Lord did all of those things because he wanted you to know that he is the Lord your God.
7. When we got here, Sihon and Og came out to fight against us. Sihon was the king of Heshbon. And Og was the king of Bashan. But we won the battle over them.
8. We took their land. We gave it to the tribes of Reuben and Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh as their share.
