Deuteronomy 29

Moses renews the covenant with all Israel in Moab, reminding them of YHWH's miracles and provision, urging faithfulness as witnesses to His acts, warning that secret idolatry will bring curses upon the land, and foretelling exile for covenant breakers while mercy awaits YHWH's restoration.
