3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders.
3 The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
3 the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
3 the massive trials to which you were eyewitnesses, the great signs and miracle-wonders.
3 the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
3 all the great tests of strength, the miraculous signs, and the amazing wonders.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:3
Commentary on Deuteronomy 29:1-9
(Read Deuteronomy 29:1-9)
Both former mercies, and fresh mercies, should be thought on by us as motives to obedience. The hearing ear, and seeing eye, and the understanding heart, are the gift of God. All that have them, have them from him. God gives not only food and raiment, but wealth and large possessions, to many to whom he does not give grace. Many enjoy the gifts, who have not hearts to perceive the Giver, nor the true design and use of the gifts. We are bound, in gratitude and interest, as well as in duty and faithfulness, to keep the words of the covenant.
