those_o that_o die_v in_o egypt_n and_o in_o the_o wilderness_n who_o have_v forget_v the_o covenant_n of_o their_o father_n and_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o renew_v it_o with_o they_o and_o yet_o

which_o the_o lord_n command_v moses_n to_o make_v with_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o land_n of_o moab_n beside_o the_o covenant_n that_o he_o make_v with_o they_o in_o horeb_n and_o v._o

to_o establish_v thou_o this_o day_n for_o a_o people_n to_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v be_v unto_o thou_o a_o god_n as_o he_o have_v swear_v unto_o thy_o father_n etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v the_o lord_n have_v often_o renew_v his_o covenant_n with_o his_o people_n 2._o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v often_o renew_v their_o covenant_n also_o with_o he_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o

the_o lord_n will_v we_o serve_v 24.25_o josh_n 24.25_o and_o his_o voice_n will_v we_o obey_v and_o he_o set_v up_o a_o stone_n under_o a_o oak_n for_o a_o witness_n against_o they_o 34.31_o 2_o
