Midrasch zu Dewarim 4:25
כִּֽי־תוֹלִ֤יד בָּנִים֙ וּבְנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים וְנוֹשַׁנְתֶּ֖ם בָּאָ֑רֶץ וְהִשְׁחַתֶּ֗ם וַעֲשִׂ֤יתֶם פֶּ֙סֶל֙ תְּמ֣וּנַת כֹּ֔ל וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֥ם הָרַ֛ע בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה־אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לְהַכְעִיסֽוֹ׃
Wenn du Kinder und Kinder zeugen sollst's Kinder, und ihr werdet lange im Land gewesen sein und verderbt handeln und ein geschnitztes Bild machen, sogar die Form von irgendetwas, und das tun, was in den Augen des HERRN, eures Gottes, böse ist, um ihn zu provozieren ;;
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Deut. 4:25:) WHEN YOU HAVE BEGOTTEN CHILDREN AND CHILDREN'S CHILDREN. This text is related (to Is. 46:10): DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING. When Moses arrived at passing from the world, the Holy One declared to him what Israel was going to do after the death of Joshua. Thus it is stated (in Deut. 31:16): THE LORD SAID UNTO MOSES: BEHOLD, YOU ARE SOON TO SLEEP WITH YOUR ANCESTORS. THEN THIS PEOPLE WILL ARISE AND GO WHORING AFTER THE ALIEN GODS OF THE LAND. For that reason Moses warned them (in Deut. 31:29): FOR I KNOW THAT AFTER MY DEATH YOU WILL SURELY ACT CORRUPTLY. But they said to him: We will not do this thing. He said to them: You are going to beget CHILDREN AND CHILDREN'S CHILDREN and forget the name of the Holy One, as stated (in Deut. 4:26; 30:19): I HAVE CALLED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH TO WITNESS AGAINST YOU TODAY…. Ergo (in Is. 46:10): DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.
