Deuteronomy 4:35 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 4:35

Unto thee it was showed
What the Lord did in Egypt:

that thou mightest know that the Lord he [is] God, [there is] none else
besides him;
that he is the one only living and true God, and there is no other: this phrase is often used by the Prophet Isaiah, to express the same great article of faith.

Deuteronomy 4:35 In-Context

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}.

36 From heaven he made you hear his voice to teach you, and on the earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from the midst of the fire.

37 And because he loved your ancestors he chose their {descendants} after them. And he brought you forth from Egypt {with his own presence}, by his great strength,
