Question

In Birkat Hamazon he began with “Nodeh lecha…” and then mistakenly continued with “ve’al tenuvat hasadeh…”, the wording of the Al HaMichya blessing, and concluded with “al ha’aretz ve’al hamazon.”

Answer

If he did not mention the covenant and the Torah, he has not fulfilled his obligation and must go back to the beginning of Birkat Hamazon.
