34. Has any god ever dared to go and take a people from another nation and make them his own, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt? Before your very eyes he used his great power and strength; he brought plagues and war, worked miracles and wonders, and caused terrifying things to happen.
35. The Lord has shown you this, to prove to you that he alone is God and that there is no other.
36. He let you hear his voice from heaven so that he could instruct you; and here on earth he let you see his holy fire, and he spoke to you from it.
37. Because he loved your ancestors, he chose you, and by his great power he himself brought you out of Egypt.
38. As you advanced, he drove out nations greater and more powerful than you, so that he might bring you in and give you their land, the land which still belongs to you.
39. So remember today and never forget: the Lord is God in heaven and on earth. There is no other god.
40. Obey all his laws that I have given you today, and all will go well with you and your descendants. You will continue to live in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to be yours for ever.”
