Deuteronomy 4:33 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:33

Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the
midst of fire
None ever heard the voice of God as they did, much less speaking such words as they heard, and still less out of the midst of fire, which was their case, ( Deuteronomy 4:12 Deuteronomy 4:15 )

as thou hast heard, and live?
which was stranger still, when they might have expected they should, and doubtless feared they would be, as it was wonderful they were not, consumed by it.

Deuteronomy 4:33 In-Context

31 The LORD your God is a merciful God. He will not abandon you, destroy you, or forget the promise to your ancestors that he swore he would keep.

32 Search the distant past, long before your time. Start from the very day God created people on earth. Search from one end of heaven to the other. Has anything as great as this ever happened before, or has anything like it ever been heard of?

33 Have any [other] people ever heard God speak from a fire and lived? You did!

34 Or has any god ever tried to come and take one nation away from another for himself? The LORD your God used his mighty hand and powerful arm to do this for you in Egypt. He did this using plagues, miraculous signs, amazing things, and war. He did his great and awe-inspiring deeds in front of you.

35 You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God. There is no other god.
