Deuteronomy 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 11:5

And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came
unto this place.
] Meaning not so much the good things he did for them in divers places, as the chastisements and corrections he had exercised them with for their murmurings, rebellions, idolatry, and uncleanness, as at Taberah, Kibrothhattaavah, on the coast of Edom, and plains of Moab; by fire, by sword, by plagues, and fiery serpents; the instances both before and after being of this sort.

Deuteronomy 11:5 In-Context

3 that he let loose in Egypt on Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land,

4 the way he took care of the Egyptian army, its horses and chariots, burying them in the waters of the Red Sea as they pursued you. God drowned them. And you're standing here today alive.

5 Nor was it your children who saw how God took care of you in the wilderness up until the time you arrived here,

6 what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the Earth opened its jaws and swallowed them with their families - their tents, and everything around them - right out of the middle of Israel.

7 Yes, it was you - your eyes - that saw every great thing that God did.
