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)
