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 Because the Lord your God is a merciful God, he will neither abandon you nor destroy you; he will not forget the covenant with your ancestors that he swore to them.

32 For ask now about former ages, long before your own, ever since the day that God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of heaven to the other: has anything so great as this ever happened or has its like ever been heard of?

33 Has any people ever heard the voice of a god speaking out of a fire, as you have heard, and lived?

34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by terrifying displays of power, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

35 To you it was shown so that you would acknowledge that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him.
