Deuteronomy 29:3-13

The Bible in Basic English BBE

3 The great tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:

4 But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.

5 For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

6 You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord your God.

7 When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

8 And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

9 So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

10 You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

11 And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

12 With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

13 And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

New International Version NIV

3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders.

4 But to this day the LORD has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear.

5 Yet the LORD says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.

6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.”

7 When you reached this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out to fight against us, but we defeated them.

8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

9 Carefully follow the terms of this covenant, so that you may prosper in everything you do.

10 All of you are standing today in the presence of the LORD your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel,

11 together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water.

12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and sealing with an oath,

13 to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
