And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
And so that their children, who don't know anything about this yet, may hear and learn to respect and reverence the LORD your God, for as long as you live in the land you're crossing the Jordan River to take possession of.
This verse emphasizes that each new generation of children needs to hear God's word and learn to revere Him throughout their lives in the promised land.
📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites just before his death, as they prepare to cross the Jordan River into the Promised Land. He's giving instructions about regularly reading the Law so that future generations who weren't present at Mount Sinai would still learn God's commands. This was part of ensuring that God's covenant relationship with Israel would continue beyond the current generation.
