Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, "All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient."

And Moses took the blood, sprinkled [it] on the people, and said, "This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words."

"So He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

"The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

"The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, those who [are] here today, all of us who [are] alive.

"that you may enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today,

" I make this covenant and this oath, not with you alone,

" For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and [ask] from one end of heaven to the other, whether [any] great [thing] like this has happened, or [anything] like it has been heard.

"Or did God [ever] try to go [and] take for Himself a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

"Out of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And the LORD had surrendered them?

So the people shouted when [the priests] blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

Then Joshua spoke to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; And Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon."

So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. [Is] this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go [down] for about a whole day.

"And who [is] like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make for Himself a name -- and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land -- before Your people whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

You [are] the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples.

Marvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, [in] the field of Zoan.

He has not dealt thus with any nation; And [as for His] judgments, they have not known them. Praise the LORD!

"He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.

[By] awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, [You who are] the confidence of all the ends of the earth, And of the far-off seas;

Say to God, "How awesome are Your works! Through the greatness of Your power Your enemies shall submit themselves to You.

Come and see the works of God; [He is] awesome [in His] doing toward the sons of men.

O God, [You are] more awesome than Your holy places. The God of Israel [is] He who gives strength and power to [His] people. Blessed [be] God!

He shall cut off the spirit of princes; [He is] awesome to the kings of the earth.

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.

[Men] shall speak of the might of Your awesome acts, And I will declare Your greatness.
