What is "Ki Eineichem ha'Ro'os" referring to? What message is the Torah conveying?
Rashi and Rashbam: It is referring to "Ki Lo es Beneichem asher Lo Yad'u ... " in Pasuk 2 - 'Not to your children but to you!' 1
Seforno: With reference to Hashem's punishing all those who rebelled against Him, 2 - Par'oh and the Egyptians in Egypt and at the Yam-Suf, and to those who rebelled in the desert, predominantly Dasan and Aviram, the Torah is instructing those who witnessed these episodes to warn their children, who did not see them, not to follow in their footsteps.
? ? Eis Kol Ma?aseh Hashem ha?Gadol?. Why does Moshe mention specifically ?Hashem ha?Gadol??
R. Bachye (on Pasuk 2): Because he is referring to all the open miracles which he just listed and which are performed by Hashem ha?Gadol (Shem Havayah). 1
As opposed to hidden miracles, which Hashem performs with ?Keil Shakai? ? which in turn, is synonymous with ?Hashem Elokecha?. See R. Bachye.
