The Covenant Renewed in Moab

1 These are the words of the acovenant 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 in Horeb.  
2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: a“You 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—  
3 athe great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.  
4 Yet athe Lord has not given you a heart to1 perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.  
5 aAnd I have led you forty years in the wilderness. bYour clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.  
6 aYou have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.  
7 And when you came to this place, aSihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them.  
8 We took their land and agave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh.  
9 Therefore akeep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may bprosper in all that you do.  
10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel,
11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from athe one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water—  
12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and ainto His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today,  
13 that He may aestablish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, bjust as He has spoken to you, and cjust as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  
14 “I make this covenant and this oath, anot with you alone,  
15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, aas well as with him who is not here with us today

Deuteronomy

DEUTERONOMY, the second law, a title which plainly shows what is the object of this book, namely, a recapitulation of the law. It was given in the form of public addresses to the people; and as Moses spoke in the prospect of his speedy removal, he enforced obedience to it by many forcible appeals to the Israelites, concerning their long and varied experience both of the mercies and the judgments of God. The minute notices of the heathen people with whom they had come in contact, but who afterward disappeared from the pages of history, as well as the accounts of the fertility and products of Canaan, and the counsels respecting the conquest of that country, fix the date of this book and the time of its composition by the hand of Moses. The close, however, must have been added by another; and, indeed, it is supposed by some to have formed the original preface to the Book of Joshua.
