Deuteronomy 29:10-15

The Covenant Renewed in Moab and the Warning Against Hidden Apostasy

Moses renews the covenant in Moab by rehearsing the LORD's mighty acts and wilderness provision, gathering the entire covenant community under oath, warning that secret idolatry will bring devastating curse, and ending with humble distinction between the LORD's hidden counsel and the revealed words given for covenant obedience.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 All of you are standing today before the LORD your God—you leaders of tribes, elders, officials, and all the men of Israel,

11 your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water—

12 so that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which He is making with you today, and into His oath,

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

14 I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,

15 but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not here today.
