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

Then men shall say,.... The answer that will be returned to the above questions will be this

because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers: breakers of covenants with men are always reckoned among the worst of men, see Romans 1:31; and especially breakers of covenant with God, and with such a God as the God of Israel was, so good, so kind, and gracious; and of such a covenant he made with them, in which so many good things were promised unto them, on condition of their obedience; as the continuance in, such a land they dwelt in, with an abundance of privileges, civil and religious: and this covenant God of theirs was the God of their fathers also; and it was always reckoned an heinous sin among the Heathens to forsake the gods of their ancestors; see Jeremiah 2:11;

which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt; which is another aggravation of their breach of the covenant the Lord made with them; it being made with them by that God, and at that time, when he in so wonderful a manner, with such mighty power, and a outstretched arm, and in great kindness and tenderness to them, brought then, out of hard bondage and most wretched slavery in Egypt.
