2. Moses summoned all Israel, saying to them:You’ve seen with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, his servants, and all his land—
3. the great trials your eyes witnessed, those awesome signs and wonders!
4. But until this very moment, the Lord hasn’t given you insight to understand, eyes to see, or ears to hear.
5. I’ve led you in the wilderness forty years now; neither the clothes on your back nor the sandals on your feet have worn out.
6. Neither have you eaten bread nor drunk wine or beer during this time—so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.
