Deuteronomy Chapter 29

Moses strongly urges obedience

29:1 THESE [are] the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
29:2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, ya’ll have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land ;
29:3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles
29:4 Yet the LORD has not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and your shoe is not waxen old upon your foot.
29:6 ya’ll have not eaten bread, neither have ya’ll drunk wine or strong drink that ya’ll might know that I [am] the LORD your God.
29:7 And when ya’ll came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we struck them
29:8 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.
29:9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ya’ll may prosper in all that ya’ll do.

Convent entered into

29:10 ya’ll stand this day all of you before the LORD your God ; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,
29:11 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
29:12 That you should enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into his oath, which the LORD your God makes with ya’ll this day
29:13 That he may establish ya’ll to day for a people to himself, and [that] he may be to ya’ll a God, as he has said to ya’ll , and as he has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
29:14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath ;
29:15 But with [him] that stands here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day
29:16(For ya’ll know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt ; and how we came through the nations which ya’ll passed by;
29:17 And ya’ll have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them
29:18 Unless there should 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 these nations ; unless there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood ;
29:19 And it come to pass, when he hear the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst
29:20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
29:21 And the LORD shall 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
29:22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid upon it;
29:23 [And that] the whole land thereof [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 overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath
29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has the LORD done thus to this land ? what [means] the heat of this great anger?
29:25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt
29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and [whom ] he had not given to them
29:27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book
29:28 And the LORD 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.

Secret things are God’s

29:29 The secret [things belong] to the LORD our God but those [things which are] revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.
