Deuteronomy 4:9-10
What is written? (ESV)
Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children’s children— how on the day that you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.
What does it say?
Be careful to not forget the things that you’ve seen or you will stray away. Teach to your children and their children how you stood before God at Horeb, when God told me to gather you together so that you would hear God’s words and learn to fear him for all their generations on earth.
What is its immediate context?
The re-telling of the law of Moses to a new generation of people before entering into the Promised Land.
