And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son’s son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
And so that you may tell your children and grandchildren about the mighty things I did in Egypt, and about the miraculous signs I performed there, so that you will know that I am the LORD.
God is telling Moses that these miraculous events should be shared with future generations so they will know and remember His power and identity as the one true God.
