Deuteronomy 29

1

These 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 covenant 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

the great trials which your eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.

4

"Yet to this day the 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; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.

6

" You 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

" When 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 gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.

9

" So keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

10

"You stand today, all of you, before the LORD your God: your chiefs, your tribes, your elders and your officers, even all the men of Israel,

11

your little ones, your wives, and the alien who is within your camps, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,

12

that you may enter into the covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath which the LORD your God is making with you today,

13

in order that He may establish you today as His people and that He may be your God, just as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14

"Now not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath,

15

but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here today

16

(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;

17

moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them);

18

so that there will not be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations; that there will not be among you a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood.

19

"It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will boast, saying, "I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the watered land with the dry.'

20

"The LORD shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and His jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse which is written in this book will rest on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.

21

"Then the LORD will single him out for adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant which are written in this book of the law.

22

"Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it, will say,

23

"All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste, unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.'

24

"All the nations will say, " Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?'

25

"Then men will say, " Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

26

"They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom He had not allotted to them.

27

"Therefore, the anger of the LORD burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book;

28

and the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.'

29

" The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. 30

Deuteronomy 30

1

"So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the LORD your God has banished you,

2

and you return to the LORD your God and obey Him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons,

3

then the LORD your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you.

4

"If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you back.

5

" The LORD your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.

6

"Moreover the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.

7

" The LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

8

"And you shall again obey the LORD, and observe all His commandments which I command you today.

9

" Then the LORD your God will prosper you abundantly in all the work of your hand, in the offspring of your body and in the offspring of your cattle and in the produce of your ground, for the LORD will again rejoice over you for good, just as He rejoiced over your fathers;

10

if you obey the LORD your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.

11

"For this commandment which I command you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach.

12

"It is not in heaven, that you should say, " Who will go up to heaven for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?'

13

"Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, "Who will cross the sea for us to get it for us and make us hear it, that we may observe it?'

14

"But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may observe it.

15

"See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity;

16

in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it.

17

"But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,

18

I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.

19

" I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,

20

by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.' 31

Deuteronomy 31

1

So Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

2

And he said to them, "I am a hundred and twenty years old today; I am no longer able to come and go, and the LORD has said to me, " You shall not cross this Jordan.'

3

" It is the LORD your God who will cross ahead of you; He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua is the one who will cross ahead of you, just as the LORD has spoken.

4

"The LORD will do to them just as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, when He destroyed them.

5

" The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

6

" Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.'

7

Then Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, " Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall give it to them as an inheritance.

8

" The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'

9

So Moses wrote this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel.

10

Then Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of every seven years, at the time of the year of remission of debts, at the Feast of Booths,

11

when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place which He will choose, you shall read this law in front of all Israel in their hearing.

12

"Assemble the people, the men and the women and children and the alien who is in your town, so that they may hear and learn and fear the LORD your God, and be careful to observe all the words of this law.

13

"Their children, who have not known, will hear and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as you live on the land which you are about to cross the Jordan to possess.'

14

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, the time for you to die is near; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may commission him.' So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

15

The LORD appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the doorway of the tent.

16

The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

17

" Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, " Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?'

18

"But I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they will do, for they will turn to other gods.

19

"Now therefore, write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the sons of Israel; put it on their lips, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel.

20

" For when I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and are satisfied and become prosperous, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and spurn Me and break My covenant.

21

"Then it shall come about, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify before them as a witness (for it shall not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants); for I know their intent which they are developing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.'

22

So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the sons of Israel.

23

Then He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, " Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land which I swore to them, and I will be with you.'

24

It came about, when Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were complete,

25

that Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,

26

"Take this book of the law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may remain there as a witness against you.

27

"For I know your rebellion and your stubbornness; behold, while I am still alive with you today, you have been rebellious against the LORD; how much more, then, after my death?

28

"Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them.

29

"For I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days, for you will do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands.'

30

Then Moses spoke in the hearing of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were complete: 32

line 364.
