Verse 22 is found in chapter 29 of Deuteronomy. All Israel symbolically enters the renewal of the covenant, from leaders and elders to women, children, and foreigners.

Les générations à venir, vos enfants qui naîtront après vous et l'étranger qui viendra d'une terre lointaine, -à la vue des plaies et des maladies dont l'Eternel aura frappé ce pays,
Onde la generazione futura, i vostri figliuoli che sorgeranno dopo voi, e il forestiere che verrà di paese lontano diranno, quando vedranno le piaghe di questo paese, e le sue infermità, delle quali il Signore l’avrà afflitto;
Então dirá à geração vindoura, os vossos filhos, que se levantarem depois de vós, e o estrangeiro que virá de terras remotas, vendo as pragas desta terra, e as suas doenças, com que o SENHOR a terá afligido;
你們的後代,就是接續你們興起的子孫,和遠方來的外邦人,看見這地的災禍,以及耶和華所降於這地的疾病,
