Exodus 10:2
“and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your son’s son, what things I have done to Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that you may know that I am Yahweh.””
What does Exodus 10:2 mean?
God is reminding Moses that these plagues aren't just dramatic events of the moment, but stories meant to ripple through generations. When parents and grandparents recount what happened, each retelling becomes a way of teaching their descendants who God is and what he's capable of. The signs and wonders become living testimony, passed down like family heirlooms, so that even people who weren't there can understand God's power and character. This reflects something timeless: that our own experiences of God often matter most not just for us, but for what we can pass on to those who come after us, helping them recognize God's faithfulness in their own lives too.
