10 your children, your wives, and the resident alien who lives in your camp, from those who cut wood to those who draw water for you—
11 to enter into the covenant of the Lord, your God, which the Lord, your God, is making with you today, with its curse,
12 so that he may establish you today as his people and he may be your God, as he promised you and as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
13 But it is not with you alone that I am making this covenant, with its curse,
14 but with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord, our God, and with those who are not here with us today.
15 You know that we lived in the land of Egypt and that we passed through the nations, that you too passed through
16 and saw the loathsome things and idols of wood and stone, of gold and silver, that they possess.
