Moses speaks a poetic song to the people of Israel.
Call to mind ... think about ... your father ... show you ... your elders ... tell you
Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words "you" and "your" here are singular. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you)
Call to mind
This is an idiom. Alternate translation: "Remember" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
days of ancient times
"days of long ago." Moses refers to the time period when the ancestors of the people of Israel were alive.
think about the years of many ages past
