Deuteronomy 29:14 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:14

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath.
] That is, Moses; for he was ordered to make this covenant with them in the name of the Lord; what promises of good things, or declarations of his mind and will, God would make, Moses was to deliver to them; and what was required of them he would inform them of. Aben Ezra interprets it, not only you, but those that will come after you, your sons and your sons' sons.
