Here are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them at Horeb. |
| 2
|
And Moses called unto all [the sons] of Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land; |
| 3
|
The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders; |
| 4
|
but to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear. |
| 5
|
I led you forty years in the desert, and your garments are not worn out upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot; |
| 6
|
you have not eaten bread, and wine and strong drink did not drink, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God. |
| 7
|
And when ye came unto this place, he came out against us Sihon king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, to fight [with us], and we smote them; |
| 8
|
and we took their land and gave it for an inheritance [the tribe of] the Reubenites and Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh. |
| 9
|
Follow the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
|
| 10
|
All of you are standing today before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all Israel, |
| eleven
|
your children, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water, |
| 12
|
that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD thy God, and into his oath with him, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee, |
| 13
|
in order to establish you today his people, and that he may be your God as he promised you and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. |
| 14
|
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, |
| 15
|
but with those who are here today with us standing before the LORD our God and with those who are not here with us today. |
| 16
|
For you know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the midst of the nations through which you passed, |
| 17
|
and have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which they have. |
| 18
|
Let it not be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations; Let there be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; |
| 19
|
a man who heard the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, `I will be happy, despite the fact that I will walk at will of my heart '; to destroy the well-fed the hungry; |
| 20
|
The Lord will not pardon him, but then the anger of the Lord is kindled, and his fury on a man, and fall upon him all the curse [of this covenant], written in this book, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven; |
| 21
|
and the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses that are written in this book of the law. |
| 22
|
So that the generation, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, seeing the plagues of this disease and which exhausted her Lord: |
| 23
|
sulfur and salt, conflagration - the whole earth; not sown, and beareth not it, and does not go on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and in his wrath. |
| 24
|
And all nations shall say: Why has the Lord done thus unto this land? what a great fury of his wrath! |
| 25
|
And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt, |
| 26
|
and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given them: |
| 27
|
[For] the wrath of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse [of the covenant], written in this book; |
| 28
|
and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, fury and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as at this day [see]. |
| 29
|
Veiled [belongs] to the Lord our God, and the open - us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. |
