Deuteronomy 4:32–38

³²For ^aask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask ^bfrom the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? ^33cDid ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? ³⁴Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, ^dby temptations, ^eby signs, and ^eby wonders, and by war, and ^fby a mighty hand, and ^gby a stretched out arm, and ^hby great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? ³⁵Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God; ⁱthere is none else beside him. ^36kOut of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire. ³⁷And because ^lhe loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; ^38mTo drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
