So how could Moses say ‘your eyes have seen all that the lord did to pharaoh’? Implying that he is speaking to a congregation who saw it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, the older generation in Deuteronomy would have been among those who would have seen all those things. Peace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
