⁹ Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them, - that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

¹⁰ Ye are stationed, to-day, all of you, before Yahweh your God, - your heads your tribes, and your elders and your officers, every man of Israel; ¹¹ your little ones your wives, and thy sojourner that is in the midst of thy camps, - from him that heweth thy wood unto him that draweth thy water: ¹² that thou mayest pass through into the covenant of Yahweh thy God and into his oath, - which Yahweh thy God is solemnising with thee, to-day: ¹³ that he may confirm thee to-day as his own people, while, he, becometh thine own God, as he spake unto thee, - and as he sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob. ¹⁴ And not with you alone, am I solemnising this covenant and this oath; ¹⁵ but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Yahweh our God, - and with him who is not here with us to-day.
