Chapter 29

1

THESE are the words of the covenant, which Yahuah commanded Mosheh to cut with the children of Yashar'el in the land of Mo'av, beside the covenant which he cut with them in Chorev.

2

And Mosheh called unto all Yashar'el, and said unto them, Ye have seen את all that Yahuah did before your eyes in the land of Mitsrayim unto Phar'oh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;

3

The great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

4

Yet Yahuah has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

5

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and your shoe is not waxen old upon your foot.

6

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am Yahuah Elohaykem.

7

And when ye came unto this place, Ciychon the king of Cheshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:

8

And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Re'uveniym, and to the Gadiym, and to the half tribe of Menashsheh.

9

Guard therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper את in all that ye do.

10

Ye stand this day all of you before Yahuah Elohaykem; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Yashar'el,

11

Your little ones, your women, and your stranger that is in your camp, from the hewer of your wood unto the drawer of your water:

12

That you should enter into covenant with Yahuah Elohayka, and into his oath, which Yahuah Elohayka cuts with you this day:

13

That he may establish you today for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto you Elohiym, as he has said unto you, and as he has sworn unto your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ya`aqov.

14

Neither with you only do I cut this covenant and this oath;

15

But with him that stands here with us this day before Yahuah Elohaynu, and את also with him that is not here with us this day:

16

(For ye know את how we have dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim; and את how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

17

And ye have seen their abominations, and את their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

18

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yahuah Elohaynu, to go and serve the elohai of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;

19

And it come to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

20

Yahuah will not spare him, but then the anger of Yahuah and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this cepher shall lie upon him, and Yahuah shall blot out his name from under heaven.

21

And Yahuah shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Yashar'el, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Cepher of the Torah:

22

So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which Yahuah has laid upon it;

23

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Cedom, and Amorah, Admah, and Tsevo'iym, which Yahuah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

24

Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has Yahuah done thus unto this land? what means the heat of this great anger?

25

Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Yahuah Elohai of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Mitsrayim:

26

For they went and served other elohiym, and worshipped them, elohiym whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

27

And the anger of Yahuah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this cepher:

28

And Yahuah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

29

The secrets of Yahuah Elohaynu are given to his children and their sons forever and ever, that they may observe every word of the Torah.
