Context of Deuteronomy 29:11

9“You are standing today, all of you, before Adonai your God—the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officials, all the men of Israel, 10your children, your wives, and the outsider within your camp (from your woodchopper to your water carrier). Each of you is to cross over into the covenant of Adonai your God that He is cutting with you today, and into His oath. 12“This is in order to confirm you today as His people. So He will be your God, just as He promised you and just as He swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. 13Not with you alone am I cutting this covenant and this oath,

Commentaries on Deuteronomy 29:11

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11The covenant was national, and therefore embraced all the elements which make up the nation.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11foreigners (literally sojourner): This word refers to people who lived among Israel but were not native Israelites. See study note on 10:18. The phrase cut your wood and draw your water was a common saying for low-level or servant work (see Joshua 9:22–27).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 10-2910-29. Ye stand this day all of you before the Lord your God--The whole congregation of Israel, of all ages and conditions, all--young as well as old; menials as well as masters; native Israelites as well as naturalized strangers--all were assembled before the tabernacle to renew the Sinaitic covenant. None of them were allowed to consider themselves as exempt from the terms of that national compact, lest any lapsing into idolatry might prove a root of…Read the comment
