Commentary

4 notes on this verse
And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place. Meaning not so much the good things he did for them in divers places, as the chastisements and corrections he had exercised them with for their murmurings, rebellions, idolatry, and uncleanness, as at Taberah, Kibrothhattaavah, on the coast of Edom, and plains of Moab; by fire, by sword, by plagues, and fiery serpents; the instances both before and after being of this sort.

This site's exposition

what He did to the Egyptian army

on Deuteronomy 11:4-5

The Red Sea takes one clause, and its weight falls on the last words, "how He destroyed them completely, even to this day". Those words keep a forty-year-old act in force as Moses speaks.

This site's exposition

what He did for you

John Gill reads what the LORD did in the wilderness until they reached this place as discipline for their murmuring and idolatry. He names Taberah and Kibroth-hattaavah in Numbers 11 and the fiery serpents of Numbers 21. Their own eyes had seen every one.

I speak not with your children which have not known . . . But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did--Moses is here giving a brief summary of the marvels and miracles of awful judgment which God had wrought in effecting their release from the tyranny of Pharaoh, as well as those which had taken place in the wilderness.
