It's interesting how much the Bible refers back to itself. Whether Moses recapping over and over. Or David and the psalmists relating the history of Israel. Then there are numerous times in Acts and in the epistles that the writers refer back to the history of the Exodus and the prophets.
Which makes me wonder, did the people not know the history? I know they knew the Torah really well. Did they just need a refresher? Was Basic-Israelite-History-for-a-thousand-Alex a tough one? Or, and more likely, did the people just need to be reminded of what God had done? I know I forget all the time too.

The stories of the O.T. are a human deminstration of the reality of what Christ accomplished for us when He came to fulfill Gods salvation plan. Your right they forgot like we do. U.D.
