“And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?”
And what great nation is there, that has statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? -- another rhetorical question: no nation possesses a law code as righteous (tsadiq) as Israel's. The law is not merely functional but morally superior. The comparison elevates Israel's legal system as unique in righteousness. This claim foreshadows later prophetic critiques: if Israel's law is uniquely righteous, Israel's failure to keep it is especially heinous.
