32 “Indeed, aask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the bday that God created 1man on the earth, and inquire cfrom one end of the heavens to the other. dHas anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?

33 “aHas any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?

34 “aOr has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation bby trials, by signs and wonders and by war and cby a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm and by great terrors, 1as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 “To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord, He is God; athere is no other besides Him.

36 “aOut of the heavens He let you hear His voice bto discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.

37 “1aBecause He loved your fathers, therefore He chose 2their descendants after them. And He 3bpersonally brought you from Egypt by His great power,

38 driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and ato give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.

39 “Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that athe Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.

40 “aSo you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am 1giving you today, that bit may go well with you and with your children after you, and cthat you may 2live long on the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”

41 aThen Moses set apart three cities across the Jordan to the 1east,

42 that a manslayer might flee there, who unintentionally slew his neighbor without having enmity toward him in time past; and by fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

43 aBezer in the wilderness on the plateau for the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites.
