Compare all
7 “For awhat great nation is there that has bGod so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him?  
8 And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you this day?
9 Only take heed to yourself, and diligently akeep yourself, lest you bforget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And cteach them to your children and your grandchildren,  
10 especially concerning athe day you stood before the Lord your God in Horeb, when the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to Me, and I will let them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children.’  
11 “Then you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire to the midst of heaven, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness.
12 aAnd the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no1 form; byou only heard a voice.  
13 aSo He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to perform, bthe Ten Commandments; and cHe wrote them on two tablets of stone.

Deuteronomy 4:7-9

what nation is there so great—Here he represents their privileges and their duty in such significant and comprehensive terms, as were peculiarly calculated to arrest their attention and engage their interest. The former, their national advantages, are described (Deuteronomy 4:7-8), and they were twofold: 1. God's readiness to hear and aid them at all times; and 2. the excellence of that religion in which they were instructed, set forth in the "statutes and judgments so righteous" which the law of Moses contained. Their duty corresponding to these pre-eminent advantages as a people, was also twofold: 1. their own faithful obedience to that law; and 2. their obligation to imbue the minds of the young and rising generation with similar sentiments of reverence and respect for it.
