Context of Deuteronomy 29:15
13With this promise the Lord will confirm today that you are his people and that he is your God. This is what he told you, and this is what he promised your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with an oath. 14You aren’t the only people to receive this promise and its conditions. It is for those of you who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God and also for those who are not here today. 16You know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through other countries on our way here. 17You saw their disgusting gods and idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold.
