Deuteronomy 29:2-9

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

2 Moses summoned all Israel and proclaimed to them, “You have seen with your own eyes everything the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land.

3 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, and those miraculous signs and wonders.

4 Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.

5 For forty years I led you in the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.

6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.

7 When you reached this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us in battle, but we defeated them.

8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

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