Has a people ever heard, as you did, a god speaking out of the middle of the fire and lived to tell the story?
34
Or has a god ever tried to select for himself a nation from within a nation using trials, miracles, and war, putting his strong hand in, reaching his long arm out, a spectacle awesome and staggering, the way God, your God, did it for you in Egypt while you stood right there and watched?
35
You were shown all this so that you would know that God is, well, God. He's the only God there is. He's it.
36
He made it possible for you to hear his voice out of Heaven to discipline you. Down on Earth, he showed you the big fire and again you heard his words, this time out of the fire.
37
He loved your ancestors and chose to work with their children. He personally and powerfully brought you out of Egypt
