What the Bible says about Law spans many generation.
(From Forerunner Commentary)
The Holman Christian Standard Bible makes explicit an important connection in this verse: "[T]he revealed things belong to us and our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law." Here, the three concepts of "revealed things," "forever," and "law," enjoy a logical connection: God has chosen to reveal His law to people and to their descendants, to the end that they may obey it forever. Unmistakably, the law is not a "passing fancy" with God, here today, gone tomorrow. As long as there are "descendants" around, God's law still stands. The law spans many generations. It follows, then, that the law spans history.
The Good News Bible captures well the intention of the verse: "There are some things that the LORD our God has kept secret; but he has revealed his Law, and we and our descendants are to obey it forever." This is the idea Moses wanted the Israelites to have in mind as they began their new life in the Promised Land. In Canaan and beyond, the law was to continue to be their guide to obedience before God—for as long as Israelites existed.
