Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

And know: Moses seems here to have addressed himself particularly to the elders, who had in their youth witnessed the wonderful works which Jehovah had wrought both for them and among them; and who were bound to remember them for their own warning, and testify them to the rising generation who had not been eye-witnesses. Deuteronomy 8:19, Deuteronomy 29:10, Proverbs 22:19, Acts 26:22

the chastisement: Deuteronomy 8:2-5

his greatness: Deuteronomy 5:24, Deuteronomy 9:26

his mighty: Deuteronomy 7:19

Reciprocal: Genesis 15:14 - that Exodus 13:3 - strength Deuteronomy 3:24 - thy greatness Deuteronomy 31:13 - General Joshua 24:31 - overlived Joshua 1 Kings 8:42 - thy strong hand Psalms 136:12 - General Ezekiel 20:5 - and made

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And know you this day,.... Take notice of, and diligently attend unto, what is now about to be delivered:

for I speak not unto your children which have not known, and which have not seen, the chastisement of the Lord your God; who have no knowledge and experience of the chastisement of the Lord on themselves, or on their foes or friends; and with whom the argument drawn from it could not come with that force, and make that impression, as it might be thought it would, being used with them who had perfect knowledge of it. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it doctrine, which, being children, they were not instructed so perfectly in as they were who were adult persons, to whom Moses directs his discourse:

his greatness, his mighty hand, and stretched out arm: the exceeding greatness of his power, displayed in the following instances.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

And know ... - Render it: And own ye this day (for I have not to do with your children which have not known and which have not seen) the chastisement of the Lord, his greatness, etc.

The “chastisement” consisted in the many mighty acts, both of punishment and mercy, through which God had guided them from Egypt to the borders of the promised land.
