Chapter 29
Deut Darby 29:1  These are the words of the covenant that Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he made with them in Horeb.
Deut Darby 29:2  And Moses called to all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his bondmen, and to all his land:
Deut Darby 29:3  the great trials that thine eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
Deut Darby 29:4  But Jehovah hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
Deut Darby 29:5  And I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes are not grown old upon you, and thy sandal is not grown old upon thy foot;
Deut Darby 29:6  ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I am Jehovah yourGod.
Deut Darby 29:7  And ye came to this place; and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for battle, and we smote them.
Deut Darby 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 the Manassites.
Deut Darby 29:9  Ye shall keep then the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Deut Darby 29:10  Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah yourGod: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
Deut Darby 29:11  your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
Deut Darby 29:12  that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thyGod, and into his oath, which Jehovah thyGod maketh with thee this day;
Deut Darby 29:13  that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee aGod, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deut Darby 29:14  Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
Deut Darby 29:15  but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah ourGod, and with him that is not here with us this day
Deut Darby 29:16  (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
Deut Darby 29:17  and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
Deut Darby 29:18  lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah ourGod, to go and serve thegods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
Deut Darby 29:19  and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.
Deut Darby 29:20  Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;
Deut Darby 29:21  and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
Deut Darby 29:22  And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,
Deut Darby 29:23  [that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:
Deut Darby 29:24  even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?
Deut Darby 29:25  And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah theGod of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;
Deut Darby 29:26  and they went and served othergods, and bowed down to them,gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.
Deut Darby 29:27  And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;
Deut Darby 29:28  and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.
Deut Darby 29:29  The hidden things belong to Jehovah ourGod; but the revealed ones are ours and our children's for ever, to do all the words of this law.
