Deuteronomy 29:9-15
Lexham English Bible
9 And you must diligently observe the words of this covenant,[a] so that you may succeed in all that you do.
10 “You are standing today,[b] all of you, before[c] Yahweh your God, your leaders, your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel, 11 your little children, your women and your aliens[d] who are in the midst of your camp, from the choppers[e] of your wood to the drawers[f] of your water, 12 in order for you to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God,[g] and into[h] his oath that Yahweh your God is making with you[i] today,[j] 13 in order to establish you today[k] to himself[l] as a people and so that he may be for you as God, just as he promised[m] to you and just as[n] he swore to your ancestors,[o] to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 “Now I am not making this covenant[p] and this oath with you alone.[q] 15 But with whoever is standing here[r] with us today[s] before[t] Yahweh our God, and with whoever is not standing here[u] with us today.[v]
