Deutéronome 4:32

Interroge les temps anciens qui t'ont précédé, depuis le jour où Dieu créa l'homme sur la terre, et d'une extrémité du ciel à l'autre: y eut-il jamais si grand événement, et a-t-on jamais ouï chose semblable?

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Informe-toi des premiers temps qui ont t avant toi, depuis le jour o Dieu cra l'homme sur la terre, et depuis un bout des cieux jusqu' l'autre bout, si jamais il y eut rien de si grand, ou si jamais on entendit rien de semblable;
Darby's French Translation
Car, enquiers-toi donc des premiers jours, qui ont t avant toi, depuis le jour o Dieu a cr l'homme sur la terre, et d'un bout des cieux jusqu' l'autre bout des cieux, si jamais il est rien arriv comme cette grande chose, et s'il a t rien entendu de semblable.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Car informe-toi des premiers temps, qui ont t avant toi, depuis le jour que Dieu a cr l'homme sur la terre, et depuis un bout des cieux jusqu' l'autre bout, s'il a jamais t rien fait de semblable cette grande chose, et s'il a t [jamais] rien entendu de semblable.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee,.... Inquire into and consult the annals of former times, of ages past:

since the day that God created man upon the earth; trace them quite up to the creation of the world, and men in it:

and [ask] from the one side of heaven to the other; traverse the whole globe, and examine the records of every nation in it in both hemispheres:

whether there hath been any such [thing] as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it? whether they can give any account of anything seen, heard, or done like what follows; suggesting that they cannot furnish out an instance to be mentioned with it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Unwilling, as it might seem, to close his discourse with words of terror, Moses makes a last appeal to them in these verses in a different strain.

Deuteronomy 4:34

Temptations - Compare Deuteronomy 7:18-19; Deuteronomy 29:2-3; not, “i. e.” the tribulations and persecutions undergone by the Israelites, out the plagues miraculously inflicted on the Egyptians.

Deuteronomy 4:37

He chose their seed after them - literally, “his seed after him.” Speaking of the love of God to their fathers in general, Moses has more especially in mind that one of them who was called “the Friend of God” James 2:23.

Brought thee out in his sight - literally, “by His face:” “i. e.” by the might of His personal presence. Compare Exodus 33:14; where God promises “My presence (literally ‘My face’) shall go with thee.”
