Deuteronomy 29:2-9

2This is what Moses said to all the Israelites when they met together: You have seen everything that the Lord did in Egypt. You saw how he punished Egypt's king, his officers and his whole country.

3You saw the miracles which the Lord did to show his great power.

4But until now the Lord has not let you understand why he did that. You saw and you heard those things, but you did not understand.

5The Lord says, ‘I led you through this desert for 40 years. In all that time, your clothes and your shoes have not become spoiled.

6You did not eat any bread. You did not drink any wine or beer. I helped you so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.’

7When we arrived here, King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan attacked us. But we won against them.

8We took their land and we gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad and half the tribe of Manasseh. That would be their new home.

9So be careful to obey the words of this covenant. If you are faithful, everything that you do will go well.
