( [I'm not talking] to your children. They didn't see or experience any of this.) You saw and experienced his great power-his mighty hand and powerful arm. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/11-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>You saw the miraculous signs and deeds he did in Egypt to Pharaoh (the king of Egypt) and to his whole country. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/11-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>You saw what he did to the Egyptian army, its horses and chariots. He drowned them in the Red Sea when they pursued you. So the LORD destroyed them forever. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/11-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>You saw what he did for you in the desert until you came here. <span class="reftext"><a href="/deuteronomy/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>You also saw what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, from the tribe of Reuben.
