Deuteronomy 29:14
12 so that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which He is making with you today, and into His oath,
13 and so that He may establish you today as His people, and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,
15 but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not here today.
16 For you yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way here.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
