Answer:
In this verse, the speaker is asking the people to think of the past when God had helped them and brought them out of their many struggles. He wants them to think of all the good that God had done for them and follow such examples, and not deviate from His ways.
Explanation:
Deuteronomy is the fifth book in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible. The book contains the laws of God as given to Moses, and the book retells the Israelites about these laws.
Chapter 32:7 states <em>"Remember the days of old, consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you."
</em>
This verse is referring to the past actions of God when he helped Israel overcome obstacles. The speaker is addressing the present generations, telling them to ask their <em>"fathers, elders" </em>about those times in the past, so that they will come to remember the love and grace of God. They should remember the great things that God had done for them and that should be a good reminder of what God is capable of doing to them if they obey His words.
<em>"The days of old"</em> refer to the days when God nurtured and helped Israel and <em>"generations past"</em> are the Israelites that were witnesses of God's grace and love. He then asked the present generations to<em> "ask"</em> their elders about the things God had done for them.
