Terms of the Covenant

These are the terms of the covenant
the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in Moab,
in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.

Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them:
Your eyes have seen all the the Lord did in Egypt
to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land.
With your own eyes you saw those great trials,
those miraculous signs and great wonders.
But to this day the Lord has not given you
a mind that understands
or eyes that see
or ears that hear.
During the forty years that I led you through the desert,
your clothes did not wear out,
nor did the sandals on your feet.
You ate no bread
and drank no wine or other fermented drink.
I did this so that you might know
that I am the Lord your God.
(Deuteronomy 29:1-6)
