32 “For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 ^jDid any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 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, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; ^kthere is no other besides him. 36 Out of heaven ^lhe let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great ^mfire, and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because he ⁿloved your fathers and chose their offspring after them¹ and brought you out of Egypt ^owith his own presence, by his great power, 38 driving out before you nations ^pgreater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, 39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

4 ^s“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is ^tone.¹ 5 ^uYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
