and no prophet
Moses is recognized as the greatest prophet in Israel's history, setting a standard for all future prophets. His unique role as a mediator between God and the Israelites is unparalleled. This phrase highlights the singularity of Moses' prophetic ministry, which included direct communication with God (Exodus 33:11) and the delivery of the Law. The expectation of a prophet like Moses is later fulfilled in Jesus Christ, as seen in Deuteronomy 18:15 and Acts 3:22.

who performed all the mighty acts of power
Moses' ministry was marked by extraordinary miracles, such as the plagues in Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna. These acts demonstrated God's power and validated Moses' leadership. The miracles served as signs to both the Israelites and the Egyptians, affirming God's sovereignty and Moses' divine commission. The New Testament draws parallels between Moses' miracles and those of Jesus, who performed signs and wonders to reveal His divine authority (John 6:14).

and awesome deeds
The term "awesome deeds" refers to the awe-inspiring events that accompanied Moses' leadership, including the giving of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai. These deeds were not only miraculous but also foundational for the identity and faith of Israel. They underscore the holiness and majesty of God, who chose Israel as His people. The awe associated with Moses' deeds is echoed in the New Testament, where Jesus' works inspire reverence and faith (Mark 4:41).

that Moses did in the sight of all Israel
Moses' actions were witnessed by the entire nation, ensuring that his leadership and God's power were undeniable to the people. This public nature of his deeds reinforced the communal aspect of Israel's faith and covenant relationship with God. The visibility of Moses' acts parallels the public ministry of Jesus, whose miracles and teachings were witnessed by many, establishing His authority and fulfilling the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17).
