Sforno on Deuteronomy 31:13/ספורנו על דברים ל״א:י״ג

אוּבְנֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָדְעוּ. שֶׁלֹּא הָיוּ יוֹדְעִים לִשְׁאוֹל בִּהְיוֹתָם טָף.
1ובניהם אשר לא ידעו, seeing that due to their tender age they are unable to formulate their questions if they have any.
ביִשְׁמְעוּ. שְׁמִיעַת הָאֹזֶן, אוֹ שֶׁיִּשְׁמְעוּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמָרוּ דְּבָרִים בָּהּ.
2ישמעו, either simply that their ears will hear sounds, or, if they are a little older, that they will hear words.
גוְלָמְדוּ. יִשְׁאֲלוּ בְּגָדְלָם וְיִלְמְדוּ מִן הַמְּבִינִים.
3ולמדו, they will ask adults and learn by listening intently to the answers they receive from people who do understand.
