From This Week’s Torah Portion:

“All of you are standing today before YHWH your Elohim: your leaders, your tribes, your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’el, your little ones, your wives, and your sojourner who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you should enter into covenant with YHWH your Elohim, and into His oath, which YHWH your Elohim makes with you today, in order to establish you today as a people for Himself, and He Himself be your Elohim, as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ya’aqov.”
