* as the Lord.
The parents must take that occasion to tell their children of
the drying up of the Red Sea forty years before: "As the Lord
your God did to the Red Sea." It greatly magnifies later
mercies to compare them with those before enjoyed; for, by
making the comparison, it appears that God is the same
yesterday, to-day, and forever. Later blessings should also
bring to remembrance former mercies, and revive thankfulness
for them.
* which he dried.
