Deuteronomy 11:3

"Know this day—for I don’t speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm,"

Key Reflection

In Deuteronomy 11:3, Moses is addressing the new generation of Israelites, emphasizing that they are bearing witness to the powerful acts of God in a way their parents did not. The phrase "I don’t speak with your children who have not known" suggests that these younger generations experienced the divine judgments and miracles firsthand, such as the plagues and deliverance from Egypt, which their elders had heard about secondhand. This direct experience underscores the significance of remembering God's mighty deeds, ensuring a vivid transmission of faith and obedience to future generations.
