These Are the Words (Deuteronomy) 29

 1 These are the words of the covenant, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses) to make with the children of God Prevails (Israel) in the land of Of His Father (Moab), beside the covenant which He made with them in Desert (Horeb).

 2 Drawn (Moses) called all of God Prevails (Israel), and said to them, You have seen all that I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) did before your eyes in the land of Double Straights (Egypt) to Great House (Pharaoh), and to all his servants, and to all his land;

 3 The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

 4 Yet I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

 5 I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not worn out, and your shoes have no holes.

 6 You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink: that you might know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym).

 7 When you came to this place, Warrior (Sihon) the king of Stronghold (Heshbon), and Long-Necked (Og) the king of Fruitful (Bashan), came out against us to battle, and we smote them:

 8 We took their land and gave it for an inheritance to the children of Behold a Son (Reuben), to the Troop (Gad), and to the half-tribe of Causing to Forget (Manasseh).

 9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

 10 You stand this day all of you before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym); your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of God Prevails (Israel),

 11 Your little ones, your wives, and the stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water:

 12 That you should enter into covenant with I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym), and into His oath, which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) your God ('Elohiym) makes with you this day:

13 That He may establish you today as a people to Himself, and that He may be to you a God ('Elohiym), as He has said to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Father of a Multitude (Abraham), to Laughter (Isaac), and to Heel-Grabber (Jacob).

14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

 15 But with him that stands here with us this day before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym), and also with him that is not here with us this day:

 16 (For you know how we have dwelt in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and how we came through the nations which you passed by;

17 You have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym), to go and serve the gods ('elohiym) of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;

 19 It shall come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

 20 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will not spare him, but then the anger of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall blot out his name from under heaven.

 21 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of God Prevails (Israel), according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

 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 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has laid upon it;

 23 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 Burning (Sodom), and Tyrants (Gomorrah), Red Earth (Admah), and Gazelles (Zeboim), which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) overthrew in His anger, and in His wrath:

 24 Even all nations shall say: Wherefore has I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) done thus to this land? what is the meaning of the heat of this great anger?

 25 Then men shall say: Because they have forsaken the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) the God ('Elohiym) of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them forth out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt):

 26 For they went and served other gods ('elohiym), and worshipped them, gods ('elohiym) whom they knew not, and whom He had not given to them:

 27 And the anger of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

 28 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) 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.

 29 The secret things belong to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) our God ('Elohiym): but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
