6. Neither have you eaten bread nor drunk wine or beer during this time—so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.
7. When you arrived here, Sihon, Heshbon’s king, and Og, Bashan’s king, marched out to fight against us, but we defeated them.
8. We took possession of their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, Gadites, and half of Manasseh’s tribe.
9. So then keep the words of this covenant and do them so you can succeed in all you do.
10. Right now, all of you are in the presence of the Lord your God—the leaders of your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the Israelite males,
11. your children, your wives, and the immigrants who live with you in your camp, the ones who chop your wood and those who draw your water—
12. ready to enter into the Lord your God’s covenant and into the agreement that the Lord your God is making with you right now.
13. That means the Lord will make you his own people right now—he will be your God just as he promised you and just as he swore to our ancestors: to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14. But I’m not making this covenant and this agreement with you alone
15. but also with those standing here with us right now before the Lord our God, and also with those who aren’t here with us right now.
