Deuteronomy 29:1-8

The Covenant in Moab

1 1These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides * the 2covenant which He had made with them at Horeb.
2 And Moses summoned 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 all his land;
3 3the great trials which your eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
4 "Yet to this day 4the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear.
5 "I have led you forty years in the wilderness; 5your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.
6 "6You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, in order that you might know that I am the LORD your God.
7 "7When you reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we defeated them;
8 and we took their land and 8gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe * of the Manassites.
