For it is your own eyes
This phrase emphasizes personal witness and experience. In the Hebrew text, the word for "eyes" is "עֵינֵיכֶם" (einekhem), which underscores the direct and personal observation of the Israelites. The use of "your own eyes" serves as a reminder that the Israelites were not relying on second-hand accounts or hearsay; they were direct witnesses to God's mighty acts. This personal experience is crucial in the transmission of faith and obedience, as it calls the Israelites to remember and testify to what they have seen.

that have seen
The Hebrew verb "רָאוּ" (ra'u) means "to see" or "to perceive." This seeing is not just a physical act but involves understanding and recognizing the significance of what is observed. The Israelites' seeing is a call to acknowledge God's power and faithfulness. It is a reminder that their faith is grounded in real, historical events that they have personally witnessed, reinforcing the authenticity and reliability of their testimony.

every great work
The phrase "every great work" in Hebrew is "כָּל־מַעֲשֵׂה הַגָּדוֹל" (kol-ma'aseh ha-gadol). "Ma'aseh" refers to deeds or actions, and "gadol" means great or mighty. This highlights the comprehensive nature of God's actions, encompassing all the miraculous deeds He performed. The use of "every" indicates that nothing was left out; all of God's mighty works were witnessed by the Israelites. This serves to remind them of the breadth and depth of God's intervention in their history, from the plagues in Egypt to the parting of the Red Sea and beyond.

the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the personal name of God revealed to Moses. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with Israel. It is a reminder of His faithfulness and unchanging character. The use of "LORD" here emphasizes that it is not just any deity performing these works, but the one true God who has chosen Israel as His people and who acts on their behalf.

has done
The Hebrew verb "עָשָׂה" (asah) means "to do" or "to make." This verb underscores the active role of God in the history of Israel. It is not merely that God allowed these events to happen; He actively orchestrated them. This action-oriented view of God is central to the Israelite understanding of their relationship with Him. It reassures them of His ongoing involvement in their lives and His ability to accomplish His purposes. The phrase "has done" serves as a testament to God's sovereignty and His power to bring about His will in the world.

(7) But your eyes have seen.--Literally, For your eyes are the witnesses (literally; the seers) of all the great working of Jehovah which He hath wrought.

Verses 7-9. - Thus from what they themselves had witnessed does Moses admonish the elder members of the congregation, summoning them to recognize in that the purpose of God to discipline and train them, that so they might keep his commandments and be strengthened in soul and purpose to go in and possess the land, and to live long therein (Deuteronomy 1:38; Deuteronomy 4:26; Deuteronomy 6:3). Verse 7. - For but, read yea: Yea, your eyes have seen, etc.
