Context of Deuteronomy 29:6

4I led you 40 years in the wilderness—your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 5Bread you have not eaten and wine and strong drink you have not drunk—in order that you may know that I am Adonai your God. “When you came to this place, King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of the Bashan came out against us to battle, but we struck them down. 7We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to Reuben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 8So keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that you may prosper in all that you do.
