There Is Only One God

32 “Now search all of history, from the time God created people on the earth until now, and search from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything as great as this ever been seen or heard before? 33 Has any nation ever heard the voice of God[a] speaking from fire—as you did—and survived? 34 Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nation by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes.

35 “He showed you these things so you would know that the Lord is God and there is no other. 36 He let you hear his voice from heaven so he could instruct you. He let you see his great fire here on earth so he could speak to you from it. 37 Because he loved your ancestors, he chose to bless their descendants, and he personally brought you out of Egypt with a great display of power. 38 He drove out nations far greater than you, so he could bring you in and give you their land as your special possession, as it is today.

35 You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.(L) 36 From heaven he made you hear his voice(M) to discipline(N) you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. 37 Because he loved(O) your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,(P) 38 to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,(Q) as it is today.
