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.
