And 9.1 Moses sinned grievously, Deut. 29. in assembling all the men of Israel, their little ones, wives, strangers, hewers of wood, drawers of water to enter in an oath and covenant to serve God, which was a solemn public worship; for there was amongst that company, who ought to have bin separated, v. 4. those to whom the Lord had not given a heart to perceive, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear to this day. So Moses in that profaned the name of God, polluted the word of the covenant. Many other instances might be given for this purpose.
