1 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD [Yahweh] commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, You have seen all that the LORD [Yahweh] did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
4 Yet the LORD [Yahweh] has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not become old upon you, and your shoe is not become old upon your foot.
6 You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I [am] the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
7 And 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 smote them:
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.
10 You stand this day all of you before the LORD [Yahweh] your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,
11 Your little ones, your wives, and your stranger that [is] in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water:
12 That you should enter into covenant with the LORD [Yahweh] your God, and into his oath, which the LORD [Yahweh] your God makes with you this day:
13 That he may establish you today for a people to himself, and [that] he may be to you a God, as he has said to you, and as he has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15 But with [him] that stands here with us this day before the LORD [Yahweh] our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:
16 (For you know how we have dwelt 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, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them:)
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from the LORD [Yahweh] our God, to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;
19 And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I will have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
20 The LORD [Yahweh] will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD [Yahweh] and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book will lie upon him, and the LORD [Yahweh] will blot out his name from under heaven.
21 And the LORD [Yahweh] will separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
22 So that the generation to come of your children that will rise up after you, and the stranger that will come from a far land, will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD [Yahweh] has laid upon it;
23 [And that] the whole land of it [is] brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD [Yahweh] overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations will say, Why has the LORD [Yahweh] done thus to this land? what [means] the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men will say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD [Yahweh] God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom] he had not given to them:
27 And the anger of the LORD [Yahweh] was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And the LORD [Yahweh] rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it is] this day.
29 What is hidden belongs to the LORD [Yahweh] our God: but what is revealed belongs to us and to our children for ever, so that we can carry out all the words of this law.
