Commentary
3 notes on this verseUnto thee it was showed,.... What the Lord did in Egypt: that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, there is none else besides him; that he is the one only living and true God, and there is no other: this phrase is often used by the Prophet Isaiah, to express the same great article of faith.
This site's exposition
Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation
on Deuteronomy 4:34-35
The second question moves from hearing to rescue, a nation taken from the midst of another nation, and the means are counted out in seven terms ending at great terrors. Verse 35 states what the whole demonstration was for, that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, there is none else beside him. The signs are given a purpose beyond themselves, and 1 Kings 18:39 has the people on Carmel answering Elijah in the same words.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Never did God do such a thing for any people; the rise of this nation was quite different from that of all other nations. [1.] They were thus dignified and distinguished, not for any thing in them that was deserving or inviting, but because God had a kindness for their fathers: he chose them.
