Deuteronomy 29:9-15

New Century Version

⁹ You must carefully obey everything in this agreement so that you will succeed in everything you do. ¹⁰ Today you are all standing here before the Lord your God—your leaders and important men, your elders, officers, and all the other men of Israel, ¹¹ your wives and children and the foreigners who live among you, who chop your wood and carry your water. ¹² You are all here to enter into an agreement and a promise with the Lord your God, an agreement the Lord your God is making with you today. ¹³ This will make you today his own people. He will be your God, as he told you and as he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ¹⁴ But I am not just making this agreement and its promises with you ¹⁵ who are standing here before the Lord your God today, but also with those who are not here today.
