Notes

Deuteronomy 4:34

a strong hand and an outstretched arm: These phrases describe God in human terms. This way of speaking is called anthropomorphism (using human features to describe God; see study note on 8:2).

These words do not mean that God has a physical body like a human. Instead, they show God’s great power. They point to his sovereign strength in rescuing Israel from slavery in Egypt.

Deuteronomy 4:1–40

Moses gave a long speech to the Israelites because of their recent failures and what he thought would happen in Canaan.
