Context — Moses' Farewell Addressgenerated
Deuteronomy 11:2 is part of Moses' farewell address to the Israelites before they enter the Promised Land. Here, Moses emphasizes the importance of remembering the past experiences of their forefathers, particularly the discipline and greatness of the LORD. He contrasts this with the knowledge of their children, who have not witnessed these events, highlighting the need for the next generation to learn and understand God's ways.

The Key Word — יָדַע, vi.da'.Temgenerated
The verb יָדַע (yada`) means 'to know' and encompasses a range of senses including perception, recognition, and experience. It indicates a deep understanding that comes from direct experience, not just intellectual knowledge.
In this verse, the form is a sequential perfect, second person masculine plural, indicating that Moses is addressing the Israelites collectively, urging them to be aware of their unique position in relation to God's past actions.
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
The finite verb יָדַעְתֶּם governs the main clause, with a series of phrases that elaborate on the subject: what is known, the time frame, and the contrast with the children. The structure emphasizes the Israelites' unique experience compared to their descendants.
The Hebrew word order places the emphasis on יָדַעְתֶּם at the beginning, signaling the importance of their knowledge in understanding God's discipline.

The Septuagint translates יָדַע as γνώσεσθε (gnōsesesthe), which conveys a similar sense of knowledge but emphasizes the act of coming to know. This choice reflects a slightly different nuance, focusing on the process of gaining understanding.
The use of παιδείαν for מוּסָר indicates a focus on the educational aspect of discipline, aligning with the broader theme of moral instruction found in the Greek translation.

CambridgeThe Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges2–9. A Pl. section recalling God’s discipline of the very generation which is being addressed. The change from Sg. to Pl. has been explained on the logical ground that the speaker is no longer regarding the nation as a single whole, but is addressing the adult generation as individuals distinct from their children (Bertholet). This, of course, is possible. Yet the alternative supposition, that some other source is here used by the compiler, besides being probable from what we have seen in other cases of the change of address, receives some support from the broken construction of the opening sentence as though it were a bad joint. It is significant, too, that the resumption of the Pl.…

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "וִֽידַעְתֶּם֮ הַיּוֹם֒ כִּ֣י׀ לֹ֣א אֶת־ בְּנֵיכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־ יָדְעוּ֙ וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ רָא֔וּ אֶת־ מוּסַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם אֶת־ גָּדְל֕וֹ אֶת־ יָדוֹ֙ הַחֲזָקָ֔ה וּזְרֹע֖וֹ הַנְּטוּיָֽה." The Samaritan Pentateuch agrees with the Masoretic Text but differs in the word for "arm," using "זרועו" instead of the Masoretic "וּזְרֹע֖וֹ." The Dead Sea Scrolls show variations, with some manuscripts using a form of "אזרועו" for "arm," while others have partial restorations and supplied text. Overall, the Septuagint aligns closely with the Masoretic Text in meaning, but its word order and articles differ, reflecting a translation rather than a direct copy. The textual variations highlight the transmission history and the slight differences in wording across these ancient witnesses.
וִֽידַעְתֶּם֮ הַיּוֹם֒ כִּ֣י׀ לֹ֣א אֶת־ בְּנֵיכֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֤ר לֹֽא־ יָדְעוּ֙ וַאֲשֶׁ֣ר לֹא־ רָא֔וּ אֶת־ מוּסַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם אֶת־ גָּדְל֕וֹ אֶת־ יָדוֹ֙ הַחֲזָקָ֔ה וּזְרֹע֖וֹ הַנְּטוּיָֽה׃

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:
(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see
Day
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…
The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…
The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.
כִּי (ki) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that,' 'for,' or 'when.' It indicates causal relationships and can express conditions like 'if' or 'though.'

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.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
