14. “And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath,
15. but with him who stands here with us today before יהוה our Elohim, as well as with him who is not here with us today.
16. “For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and how we passed through the nations which you passed through,
17. and you saw their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them,
18. lest there should be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe, whose heart turns away today from יהוה our Elohim, to go and serve the mighty ones of these nations, lest there should be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood.
