Moses continues reminding the people of Israel about what happened in the past.
I broke them before your eyes
Here "your eyes" is a synecdoche for the people of Israel. AT: "I broke them right in front of you" or "I broke them where you could see them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
lay facedown
"lay with my face on the ground." This is a way of showing that Yahweh was great and Moses was not.
