Deuteronomy 4:38 — Meaning and Application

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.

Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong {thy} days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
