³²‘For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth, and from the one end of the heavens even unto the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing—or hath been heard like it? ³³Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou—and doth live? ³⁴Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors—according to all that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your eyes? ³⁵Thou, thou hast been shewn it, to know that Jehovah He is God; there is none else besides Him.

³⁶‘From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire, and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire.

³⁷‘And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt: ³⁸to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land—an inheritance, as at this day.
