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.

31 For Yahweh your God is a compassionate God; he {will not abandon you}, and he will not destroy you, and he will not forget the covenant of your ancestors that he swore to them.

32 "Yes, ask, please, about former days that {preceded you} from the day that God created humankind on the earth; [ask even] from [one] end of the heaven up to the [other] end of heaven {whether anything ever happened} like this great thing or {whether anything like it was ever heard}.

33 Has a people [ever] heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, [just] as you heard [it], and lived?

34 Or has a god [ever] attempted to go to take for himself a nation from the midst of a nation, [using] trials and signs and wonders and war, with an outstretched arm and with great and awesome deeds, like all that Yahweh your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 You [yourselves] were shown [this wonder] in order [for you] to acknowledge that Yahweh [is] the God; there is no other [God] {besides him}.
