^2 [a] And Moses summoned 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 the great ^(B)trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. ⁴ But to this day ^(C)the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear. ^5 (D)I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet. ^6 (E)You have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. ⁷ And when you came to this place, ^(F)Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, but we defeated them. ⁸ We took their land and ^(G)gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites. ^9 (H)Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper^[b] in all that you do.

¹⁰ “You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,^[c] your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, ¹¹ your little ones, your wives, and the ^(I)sojourner who is in your camp, from ^(J)the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, ¹² so that you may enter into the ^(K)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, ¹³ that he may ^(L)establish you today as his people, and that ^(M)he may be your God, as he promised you, and ^(N)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ¹⁴ It is not with you alone ^(O)that I am making this sworn covenant, ¹⁵ but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, ^(P)and with whoever is not here with us today.
