Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Deuteronomy 29:15
But with [him] that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:
With him that is not here with us – i. e. as the Jews explain, posterity; which throughout all generations was to be taken as bound by the act and deed of those present and living.

Verse 15. Him that standeth here] The present generation. Him that is not here – all future generations of this people.

i.e. With your posterity; for so the covenant was made at first with Abraham and his seed, by which, as God engaged himself to continue the blessing of Abraham upon his posterity, so he also engaged them to the same duties and conditions which were required of Abraham. So it is even among men, where a king confers an estate upon a subject and his heirs for ever, upon some certain conditions, all his heirs who enjoy that benefit are obliged to the same conditions. But whatsoever becomes of mans right, God the Creator and sovereign Lord of all men and things hath an unquestionable right and power to oblige all persons that are or shall be to such conditions as he pleaseth, and especially to such conditions as are for their own benefit, which is the present case.

and so with [him] that [is] not here with us this day detained at home by illness and indisposition of body, or by one providence or another; so that they could not come out of their tents, and make their appearance before the tabernacle; though Jarchi interprets this of the people of future generations.

Ver. 15. Also with him that is not here with us this day That is, say the generality of interpreters, “I renew this covenant with you, not only for yourselves who are here present, but also for your posterity to latest ages.” But Houbigant is of opinion, that these words of Moses are of the same import with those of St. Paul, Jews and barbarians; or, the Jew first, and afterwards the Greek: with us, signifying the Jewish nation; the other words, the Gentiles with whom God entered into the same covenant which he made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because the Gentiles were hereafter to inherit the same faith; and there can be no doubt, he says, that the words, him who is not here with us this day, plainly denote other men than the Jews themselves.

Deu 29:15. So also with him that is not here With your posterity. For so the covenant was made at first with Abraham and his seed, by which, as God engaged himself to continue the blessing of Abraham upon his posterity, so he also engaged them to the same duties which were required of Abraham. Thus it is even among men: where a king confers an estate upon a subject and his heirs for ever, upon some certain conditions, all his heirs who enjoy that benefit are obliged to the same conditions. It may likewise include those who were then constrained to be absent by sickness, or any necessary occasion. Nay, one of the Chaldee paraphrasts reads it, All the generations that have been from the first days of the world, and all that shall arise to the end of the whole world, stand with us here this day. And thus, taking this covenant as a typical dispensation of the covenant of grace, it is a noble testimony to the Mediator of that covenant, who is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.
