For ask now of the days past which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there has been a thing as great as this, or has anything like it been heard.

Has a people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and lived?

Or has God gone forth 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 mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God didfor you in Egypt before your eyes?

To you it was revealed, so that you might know that Jehovah is God, and no one else besides Him.

He made you hear His voice out of the heavens, that He might discipline you; and He made you to see His great fire on earth; and you heard His Word from the midst of the fire.

And because He loved your fathers, and chose their seed after them, and brought you out with His presence, with His great power, out of Egypt,

in order to drive out nations greater and mightier than you from before you, to bring you in, to give their land for an inheritance, as it is this day;

know today, and turn back your heart to it, that Jehovah, He is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

And you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you today, so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, and so that you may prolong your days on the earth, which Jehovah our God is giving to you all the days.
