Question
In Birkat Hamazon, started with "Nodeh Lecha..." and mistakenly continued "Ve'al Tenuvat HaSade...", text from "Al HaMichya", and concluded "Al HaAretz Ve'al HaMazon".
Answer
If one did not mention the Covenant and Torah, they have not fulfilled their obligation and must start Birkat Hamazon from the beginning again.
