SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:23
Porque el SEÑOR vuestro Dios secó las aguas del Jordán delante de vosotros, hasta que habíais pasado, a la manera que el SEÑOR vuestro Dios lo había hecho en el mar Bermejo, al cual secó delante de nosotros hasta que pasamos;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 23. For the Lord your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over , etc.] As this is supposed to be said in future time, and to persons who were not upon the spot when this was done, and so entirely ignorant of the affair; it is not to be understood of them personally, but of the same people they were of, the people of Israel in former times, of their ancestors, and of them in them; the benefits of which they enjoyed by possessing the land of Canaan their fathers were at this time introduced into: as the Lord your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over ; for though the generation of men, for the most part, was dead, that passed through the Red sea; yet as Joshua himself, and Caleb and Eleazar, and it may be some others that were not among the murmurers, were still living, for whom that miracle was wrought, this way of speaking is very properly made use of; and especially when it is observed, that there were many of the present generation then young, which passed over, and even those unborn were in and represented by their ancestors, and who enjoyed the advantages of that wonderful mercy; so these two strange events are joined together, as instances of divine power and goodness, in ( <19B403> Psalm 114:3,5).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-24 - It is the duty of parents to tell their children betimes of the word and works of God, that they may be trained up in the way they shoul go. In all the instruction parents give their children, they shoul teach them to fear God. Serious godliness is the best learning. Are we not called, as much as the Israelites, to praise the loving-kindness of our God? Shall we not raise a pillar to our God, who has brought u through dangers and distresses in so wonderful a way? For hitherto the Lord hath helped us, as much as he did his saints of old. How great the stupidity and ingratitude of men, who perceive not His hand, and wil not acknowledge his goodness, in their frequent deliverances __________________________________________________________________
