📚 Historical Context
Moses is speaking to the Israelites just before they enter the Promised Land, reminding them of God's faithful care during their wilderness wandering. This was part of a larger speech about remembering God's provision and not forgetting Him once they became prosperous in their new land. The forty years in the wilderness was both a punishment for their disobedience and a time of God's sustained care and preparation.
