Deuteronomy 32:7

Remember the ancient days; bear in mind ¹  the years of past generations. ²  Ask your father and he will inform you, your elders, and they will tell you.

Ex 13:14; De 4:32; Jud 6:13; Job 8:8-10; Ps 10:6; Ps 44:1; Ps 77:5; Ps 77:5,6,11,12; Ps 77:8; Ps 78:3,4; Ps 119:52; Isa 46:9; Isa 63:11

¹ tc The Syriac, Targum, and Vulgate read 2nd person masculine singular whereas the MT has 2nd person masculine plural. The former is preferred, the latter perhaps being a misreading (בִּינוּ [binu] for בִּינָה [binah]). Both the preceding (“remember”) and following (“ask”) imperatives are singular forms in the Hebrew text.

² tn Heb “generation and generation.” The repetition of the singular noun here singles out each of the successive past generations. See IBHS 116 §7.2.3b.
