Deuturonomy 30:19

Today I call heaven and earth as witnesses that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life, so that you and your descendants may live!
[A covenant between two people was always witnessed by a third party. If one person did not live up to the requirements of the covenant, the other person could call on the witnesses to confirm what had been said. Moses calls on heaven and earth to be witnesses.]
