Remember today that your children(A) were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the Lord your God:(B) his majesty,(C) his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;(D) the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country;(E) what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots,(F) how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea[a](G) as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them. It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place, and what he did(H) to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened(I) its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them. But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done.(J)

  1. Deuteronomy 11:4 Or the Sea of Reeds

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day;

And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;

And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.
