Or HaChaim on Deuteronomy 29:9:1אור החיים על דברים כ״ט:ט׳:א׳
אתם נצבים היום, "You are standing today, etc." We have to analyse what these words are meant to tell us. Besides, why did Moses have to single out ראשיכם, טפכם, "your heads and your children," and did not simply say כלכם, "all of you?" Moreover, what was the reason for this covenant?
