The Uniqueness of Israel’s God

4:32 Indeed, ask about the distant past, starting from the day God created humankind55 on the earth, and ask56 from one end of heaven to the other, whether there has ever been such a great thing as this, or even a rumor of it. 4:33 Have a people ever heard the voice of God speaking from the middle of fire, as you yourselves have, and lived to tell about it? 4:34 Or has God57 ever before tried to deliver58 a nation from the middle of another nation, accompanied by judgments,59 signs, wonders, war, strength, power,60 and other very terrifying things like the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? 4:35 You have been taught that the Lord alone is God—there is no other besides him. 4:36 From heaven he spoke to you in order to teach you, and on earth he showed you his great fire from which you also heard his words.61 4:37 Moreover, because he loved62 your ancestors, he chose their63 descendants who followed them and personally brought you out of Egypt with his great power 4:38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you and brought you here this day to give you their land as your property.64 4:39 Today realize and carefully consider that the Lord is God in heaven above and on earth below—there is no other! 4:40 Keep his statutes and commandments that I am setting forth65 today so that it may go well with you and your descendants and that you may enjoy longevity in the land that the Lord your God is about to give you as a permanent possession.
