Deuteronomy 29:4-13 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. But to this day the Lord has not given you a heart to understand or eyes to see or ears to hear.

5. 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. 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, 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 gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.

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

10. “You are standing today all of you before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,

11. your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,

12. so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today,

13. that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
