Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

not with our fathers did Yahweh solemnise this covenant, - but with us, ourselves - these here to-day, all of us living.

Thou, therefore here stand with me and let me speak unto thee - all the commandment and the statutes and the regulations which thou shalt teach them, - that they may do them in the land which I am giving unto them to possess it.

Ye must not do according to all that we are doing here to-day, - every man, whatsoever is right in his own eyes.

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.

If they had been wise, they would have understood this, - They would have given heed to their here-after!
