Contextual Overview

10 You are standing today, all of you, before Jehovah your God; your rulers, your tribes your elders, and your officers, every man of Israel; 11 your little ones, your wives, and your alien who is in the midst of your camps, from the woodchopper to the one drawing your water; 12 so that you should enter into the covenant of Jehovah your God, and into His oath, which Jehovah your God is making with you today; 13 so that He may establish you today for a people to Himself, and He Himself be your God, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 And I am not making this covenant and this oath with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before Jehovah your God; and also with him that is not here with us today. 16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations through which you passed. 17 And you have seen their detestable things, and their idols of wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them; 18 that there not be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away today from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you today a root that bears gall and wormwood; 19 and it happens when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to snatch away the drunken with the thirsty.
