Deuteronomy 29:9-15

International Children’s Bible

⁹ You must carefully obey everything in this agreement. Then you will succeed in everything you do. ¹⁰ Today you are all standing here before the Lord your God. Here are your leaders and important men. Your elders, officers and all the other men of Israel are here. ¹¹ Here are your wives and children and the foreigners who live among you. They 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. The Lord is making this agreement with you today. ¹³ This will make you today the Lord’s own people. He will be your God. This is what he told you. He promised it to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. ¹⁴ But the Lord is not just making this agreement and its promises with you. ¹⁵ You are standing here before the Lord your God today. But he is also making it with those who are not here today.
