Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 4:32–35

³²Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported? ³³Has a people ever heard the voice of God^d speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived? ³⁴Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation — by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors — as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?

³⁵You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
