Contextual Overview

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. ¹⁶ You know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries when we came here. ¹⁷ You saw their hateful idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold. ¹⁸ Make sure no man, woman, family group, or tribe among you leaves the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. They would be to you like a plant that grows bitter, poisonous fruit. ¹⁹ These are the kind of people who hear these curses but bless themselves, thinking, "We will be safe even though we continue doing what we want to do." Those people may destroy all of your land, both wet and dry.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt,.... How long they and their fathers had dwelt there, the number of years they had been in the land, as the Targum of Jonathan, which was upwards of two hundred years; and being a country the inhabitants of which were much given to idolatry, they had seen many of their idols, and much of their idolatrous worship; and their hearts had been apt to be ensnared by it, and the minds of some tinctured with it, and the remembrance thereof might make ill impressions on them; to remove or prevent which this covenant was made:

and how we came through the nations which ye passed by; as the Edomites, Ammonites, Moabites, and Midianites, as Aben Ezra observes, through whose borders they came, as they passed by their countries in their journeys in the wilderness.
