Context — Moses' Farewell Addressgenerated

15but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God, as well as with those who are not here today.
16For you yourselves know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations on the way here.
17You saw the abominations and idols among them made of wood and stone, of silver and gold.
18Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is no root among you that bears such poisonous and bitter fruit,

Deuteronomy 29:16 is part of Moses' farewell address to the Israelites, where he reminds them of their past in Egypt and their journey through various nations. This serves to reinforce their identity and the importance of remembering their history as they prepare to enter the Promised Land. The surrounding verses emphasize the need for faithfulness to God and awareness of the dangers of idolatry, as seen in Deuteronomy 29:15 and Deuteronomy 29:17.

The Key Word יְדַעְתֶּם, ye.da'.Temgenerated

The verb יָדַע (yada`) means 'to know' and encompasses a range of meanings from simple awareness to deep understanding. In this verse, it emphasizes the Israelites' intimate knowledge of their own history and experiences.

As a perfect form in the second person masculine plural, יְדַעְתֶּם indicates that Moses is addressing the entire community, reinforcing their collective memory and responsibility.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

One main verb governs the entire verse — יְדַעְתֶּם, you know — with several phrases describing what they know: the conditions in Egypt and their journey through the nations.

The structure emphasizes the direct address to the people, highlighting their shared experiences and the importance of remembering their history.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint uses the word εἴδετε (eídete) to translate יְדַעְתֶּם. This choice suggests a direct call to perceive or see, emphasizing the importance of awareness and recognition of their past.

This translation reflects a slightly different nuance, focusing on the act of seeing as well as knowing.

כִּי (ki) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that,' 'for,' or 'when.' It indicates causal relationships and can express conditions like 'if' or 'though.' The word is versatile, appearing in various contexts to convey certainty, exception, or concession.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Egypt

The land of the Nile and the pyramids, the oldest kingdom of which we have any record, holds a place of great significance in Scripture.

The Egyptians belonged to the white race, and their original home is still a matter of dispute. Many scholars believe that it was in Southern Arabia, and recent excavations have shown that the valley of the Nile was originally inhabited by a low-class population, perhaps belonging to the Nigritian stock, before the Egyptians of history entered it. The ancient Egyptian language, of which the latest form is Coptic, is distantly connected with the Semitic family of speech.

Egypt consists geographically of two halves, the northern being the Delta, and the southern Upper Egypt, between Cairo and the First Cataract. In the Old Testament, Northern or Lower Egypt is called Mazor, “the fortified land” (Isa.…

A celebrated country in the north of Africa, at the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea. The Hebrews called it Mizraim, Ge 10:6, and hence it is now called by the Arabs, Mizr. The Greeks and Romans called it Aegyptus, whence Egypt; but the origin of this name is unknown.

The habitable land of Egypt is for the most part a great valley, through which the river Nile pours its waters, extending in a straight line from north to south, and skirted on the east and west by ranges of mountains, which approach and recede from the river more or less in different parts. Where this valley terminates, towards the north, the Nile divides itself, about forty or fifty miles from the seacoast, into several arms, which inclose the so-called Delta. The ancients numbered seven arms and mouths; the eastern was that of Pelusium, now that of Tineh; and the…

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
