Our God is unique, and He does things that no-one else does. Moses calls on the Israelites to consider what God has done, and what they have seen Him do. At no point since He created humans as anything so great happen as when God spoke to the Israelites out of the fire. We should consider the times that God has spoken to us. It is amazing that the Lord of all the universe speaks to each one of us personally. We should appreciate the great privilege that this is.
Then there is the rescue from Egypt, extracting one nation out of another. In Christ an even greater exodus took place. We have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.
We need to know that the Lord is unique, that there is no one like Him.
God brought them out for a purpose, to take possession of the land. Likewise He has saved us for a purpose. He did this by His presence and His power. We need to rejoice in both the presence and the power of God. He is Lord of All, of heavens above and the earth below. There is nowhere and no situation that is beyond Him. So we should obey the Lord in all situations and at all times.
Moses then designated the three cities of refuge for the transjordan tribes.
Moses is now about to give them the Law. Note that this comes after he has reminded them of what the Lord has done and who He is.
