Why did Moshe discuss Matan Torah (in this Pasuk) before Yeyzi'as Mitzrayim (in Pasuk 34)?

1.

Oznayim laTorah #1: Because it follows on from "O ha'Nishma Kamohu" 1 in the previous Pasuk.

2.

Oznayim la'Torah #2: Because the thrust of the Parshah is the fact that Hashem chose Yisrael as His nation and gave them the Torah. 2

How could an entire nation merit prophecy?

1.

Lev Eliyahu (Sh'mos p.121): During the forty-nine days from Pesach until Shavu'os, they acquired the forty-nine Midos of Kedushah that bring to Ru'ach ha'Kodesh and prophecy!
