The first aliyah begins by Moshe continuing to say the Jews have now entered into a covenant with G-d. Not just the Jews Moshe is talking to are entered into the covenant with G-d, but all future generations of Jews.

Moshe warns the Jews that in Egypt and in their subsequent travels they have been exposed to all sorts of idol worship, thus, in case there be any among them that are tempted to serve strange gods, they will suffer from all the dreaded curses read last week. Moshe then prophesizes that a future generation will be exiled and the land will be cursed because of these curses.
