10. Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God your chiefs of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,
11. your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;
12. that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day;
13. that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and that he may be to thee a God as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14. Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
15. but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God and with him that is not here with us this day
16. (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;
17. and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);
18. lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
