8 We captured their land. And we gave it to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the eastern half-tribe of Manasseh to own.
9 You must carefully obey everything in this agreement. Then you will succeed in everything you do.
10 Today you are all standing here before the Lord your God. Here are your leaders and important men. Your elders, officers and all the other men of Israel are here.
11 Here are your wives and children and the foreigners who live among you. They chop your wood and carry your water.
12 You are all here to enter into an agreement and a promise with the Lord your God. The Lord is making this agreement with you today.
13 This will make you today the Lord’s own people. He will be your God. This is what he told you. He promised it to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14 But the Lord is not just making this agreement and its promises with you.
