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.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Deuteronomy 29:14 In-Context

12 so that you may enter into the sworn covenant of the LORD your God, which the LORD your God is making with you today,
13 that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
14 It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant,
15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the LORD our God, and with whoever is not here with us today.
16 "You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed.
