1. THESE ARE the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
2. Moses called to all Israel and said to them, You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land;
3. The great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
4. Yet the Lord has not given you a [mind and] heart to understand 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 upon you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.
6. You have not eaten [grain] bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you might recognize and know [your dependence on Him Who is saying], I am the Lord your God.
