Deuteronomy 4:32-40

32“Now search all of history, from the time God created people on the earth until now, and search from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything as great as this ever been seen or heard before?

33Has any nation ever heard the voice of God speaking from fire—as you did—and survived?

34Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nation by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes.

35“He showed you these things so you would know that the Lord is God and there is no other.

36He let you hear his voice from heaven so he could instruct you. He let you see his great fire here on earth so he could speak to you from it.

37Because he loved your ancestors, he chose to bless their descendants, and he personally brought you out of Egypt with a great display of power.

38He drove out nations far greater than you, so he could bring you in and give you their land as your special possession, as it is today.

39“So remember this and keep it firmly in mind: The Lord is God both in heaven and on earth, and there is no other.

40If you obey all the decrees and commands I am giving you today, all will be well with you and your children. I am giving you these instructions so you will enjoy a long life in the land the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
