Matthew Poole and continuators on Deuteronomy 29:15

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 :

(i. e.) With your prosperity. 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 Creatour and Soveraign 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.
