BRAGADAYJAH 598
Moses' Exhortation
You stand this day all of you before the Lord your God; your
captains of your tribes, your elders and your officers, with all the men of
Israel. Your little ones and your wives and the stranger within your gate, from
the hewer of your wood to the drawer of the water. That you should enter into
covenants with the Lord your God, into His oath which the Lord your God make
with you this day. That He may establish you this day as a people unto Himself
and that He may be unto you a God as He has said unto you and as He has sworn
unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And not with you only have I made
this statement and with this oath, but with him that stands here with us this
day before the Lord our God and also he that is not here with us this day; for
we know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt and how we came through the
nations through which we passed; and we have seen their abominations, and their
idols, wood, and stone, silver and gold which were among them, lest there be
among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away from the Lord
this day to go and serve other gods of these nations, lest there be among you,
a root which bears gall and wormwood.
