THAT YOU MIGHT KNOW

 Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking 

out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, 

and live? Or hath God assayed to go and 

take him a nation from the midst of another 

nation, by temptations, by signs, and by 

wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, 

and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, 

according to all that the LORD your God did 

for you in Egypt before your eyes?  Unto thee 

it was shewed, that thou mightest know that 

the LORD he is God; there is none else 

beside him. Out of heaven he made thee to 

hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: 

and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; 

and thou heardest his words out of the midst 

of the fire.  And because he loved thy fathers, 

therefore he chose their seed after them, and 

brought thee out in his sight with his mighty 

power out of Egypt;  To drive out nations from 

before thee greater and mightier than thou art, 

to bring thee in, to give thee their land for 

an inheritance, as it is this day.  Know therefore 

this day, and consider it in thine heart, that 

the LORD he is God in heaven above, and 

upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Deuteronomy 4:33-39
