TORAH PORTION
Nitzavim ... You Stand [This Day]
Deuteronomy 29:9-30:20


You stand this day, all of you, before the Eternal your God--you tribal heads, you elders, and you officials, all of the men of Israel, you children,

you women, even the stranger within your camp, from woodchopper

to water drawer... - Deuteronomy 29:9-10


SUMMARY: 
  • Moses tells the assembled people that God's covenant speaks

    to them and to all of the generations who will follow. (29:9-14)
  • God warns the Israelites that they will be punished if they act idolatrously, the way the inhabitants of the other nations do.

    (29:15-28)
  • Moses reassures the people that God will not forsake them and

    that they can attain blessings by following God's commandments. (30:1-20)
