Context of Deuteronomy 29:8

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. We 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. 10The Lord your God sees all of you today as you stand here. He sees your leaders, your important men, your officers and all Israelite men.
