Deuteronomy 3:24

3:24 “O, Lord God, ¹  you have begun to show me ²  your greatness and strength. ³  (What god in heaven or earth can rival your works and mighty deeds?)

Deuteronomy 5:24

5:24 You said, “The Lord our God has shown us his great glory ⁴  and we have heard him speak from the middle of the fire. It is now clear to us ⁵  that God can speak to human beings and they can keep on living.

Deuteronomy 11:2

11:2 Bear in mind today that I am not speaking ⁶  to your children who have not personally experienced the judgments ⁷  of the Lord your God, which revealed ⁸  his greatness, strength, and power. ⁹ 

[3:24]  ¹ tn Heb “Lord Lord.” The phrase אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה (’adonay yÿhvih) is customarily rendered by Jewish tradition as “Lord God.” Cf. NIV, TEV, NLT “Sovereign Lord.”

[3:24]  ² tn Heb “your servant.” The pronoun is used in the translation to clarify that Moses is speaking of himself, since in contemporary English one does not usually refer to oneself in third person.

[3:24]  ³ tn Heb “your strong hand” (so NIV), a symbol of God’s activity.

[5:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “his glory and his greatness.”

[5:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “this day we have seen.”

[11:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “that not.” The words “I am speaking” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “who have not known and who have not seen the discipline of the Lord.” The collocation of the verbs “know” and “see” indicates that personal experience (knowing by seeing) is in view. The term translated “discipline” (KJV, ASV “chastisement”) may also be rendered “instruction,” but vv. 2b-6 indicate that the referent of the term is the various acts of divine judgment the Israelites had witnessed.

[11:2]  ⁹ tn The words “which revealed” have been supplied in the translation to show the logical relationship between the terms that follow and the divine judgments. In the Hebrew text the former are in apposition to the latter.

[11:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his strong hand and his stretched-out arm.”
