⁷ For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is whenever we call to him?^(A)

³² “For ask now about former ages, long before your own, ever since the day that God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of heaven to the other: Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has its like ever been heard of?^{(A) 33} Has any people ever heard the voice of a god speaking out of a fire, as you have heard, and lived?^{(B) 34} Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by terrifying displays of power, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?^{(C) 35} To you it was shown so that you would acknowledge that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.^{(D) 36} From heaven he made you hear his voice to discipline you. On earth he showed you his great fire, while you heard his words coming out of the fire.^{(E) 37} And because he loved your ancestors, he chose their descendants after them. He brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power,^{(F) 38} driving out before you nations greater and mightier than yourselves, to bring you in, giving you their land for a possession, as it is still today.^(G)

²⁶ I prayed to the Lord and said, ‘Lord God, do not destroy your people, your very own possession, whom you redeemed in your greatness, whom you brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.^(A)

²¹ He is your praise; he is your God who has done for you these great and awesome things that your own eyes have seen.^(A)

¹⁵ Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; for this reason I lay this command upon you today.^(A)
