Deuteronomy 29:2 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 29:2

Moses called unto all Israel
He had been speaking before to the heads of them, and delivered at different times what is before recorded; but now he summoned the whole body of the people together, a solemn covenant being to be made between God and them; or such things being to be made known unto them as were of universal concernment:

and said unto them;
what is in this chapter; which is only a preparation or introduction to what he had to declare unto them in the following:

ye have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of
Egypt;
the Targum of Jonathan is,

``what the Word of the Lord did;''

for all the wonderful things there done in Egypt were done by the essential Word of God, Christ, the Son of God; who appeared to Moses in the bush, and sent him to Egypt, and by him and Aaron wrought the miracles there; which many now present had seen, and were then old enough to take notice of, and could remember, though their fathers then in being were now dead:

unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
the plagues he inflicted on the person of Pharaoh, and on all his courtiers, and on all the people in Egypt, for they reached the whole land.

Deuteronomy 29:2 In-Context

1 These are the terms of the covenant the LORD commanded me to make with the people of Israel in Moab. The terms were added to the covenant he had made with them at Mount Horeb.

2 I sent for all of the Israelites. Here is what I said to them. With your own eyes you have seen everything the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh. You have seen what he did to all of Pharaoh's officials and to his whole land.

3 With your own eyes you saw how the LORD really made them suffer. You saw his miraculous signs and great wonders.

4 But to this very day the LORD hasn't given you a mind that understands. He hasn't given you eyes that see. He hasn't given you ears that hear.

5 He led you through the desert for 40 years. During that time your clothes didn't wear out. The sandals on your feet didn't wear out either.
