Berean Study Bible

Moses summoned all Israel
The act of summoning all Israel signifies a moment of great importance and unity. Moses, as the leader appointed by God, calls the entire nation together, emphasizing the communal nature of the covenant and the shared history of the people. The Hebrew root for "summoned" (קָרָא, qara) implies a calling out or proclamation, indicating the seriousness and urgency of the message. This gathering reflects the theocratic leadership structure where God communicates His will through His chosen servant, Moses.

and said to them
This phrase underscores the role of Moses as the mediator between God and His people. The Hebrew verb "said" (אָמַר, amar) is often used in the context of divine communication, highlighting the authority and divine inspiration behind Moses' words. It is a reminder that the message being delivered is not merely human wisdom but a divine directive that requires attention and obedience.

You have seen with your own eyes
This phrase emphasizes personal experience and eyewitness testimony. The Israelites are reminded that their knowledge of God's acts is not secondhand but direct and personal. The Hebrew word for "seen" (רָאָה, ra'ah) conveys not just physical sight but also understanding and perception. This personal witness serves as a powerful foundation for faith and obedience, as they have directly experienced God's power and faithfulness.

all that the LORD did
The focus here is on the comprehensive nature of God's actions. The use of "all" (כֹּל, kol) indicates the totality and completeness of God's mighty works. The name "LORD" (יהוה, YHWH) is the covenant name of God, reminding the Israelites of His eternal faithfulness and unchanging nature. This phrase calls the people to remember the full scope of God's deliverance and provision, reinforcing their trust in His continued guidance.

in the land of Egypt
Egypt represents the place of bondage and oppression from which God delivered His people. The historical context of Egypt as a powerful empire highlights the miraculous nature of Israel's deliverance. The mention of Egypt serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to rescue His people from seemingly insurmountable circumstances.

to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to all his land
This phrase details the extent of God's judgment and deliverance. Pharaoh, as the ruler of Egypt, symbolizes the ultimate earthly authority and opposition to God's will. The mention of "all his officials" and "all his land" underscores the thoroughness of God's intervention. The Hebrew word for "officials" (עֲבָדָיו, avadav) can also mean servants, indicating those who carried out Pharaoh's commands. This comprehensive judgment demonstrates God's power over all earthly authorities and His commitment to fulfilling His promises to His people.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(2) And Moses called all Israel and said unto them.--The address in this chapter may be compared with that of Joshua to the people (as distinct from their heads and officers) in Joshua 24. The topics brought before them are simple. In Deuteronomy 29:2-3, the miracles of the Exodus; in Deuteronomy 29:5; Deuteronomy 29:7, the wilderness journey; in Deuteronomy 29:7-8, the conquest of Sihon and Og. All are appealed to, from the captains of the tribes (Deuteronomy 29:10), to the little ones (Deuteronomy 29:11), and the lowest slaves (Deuteronomy 29:11). And the point set before them is one simple thing, to accept Jehovah as their God. All this is very closely reproduced in Joshua 24 (see Notes in that place). . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 2. - Moses addresses the nation as such, and reminds them of their dullness to apprehend the manifestations of God's grace which had been so abundantly afforded in their past history, in order that he may arouse them to a better state of mind, and stimulate them to hearken to the voice of God in the future.
