Deuteronomio 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 10:17

For the Lord your God is God of gods
Of angels and civil magistrates, who are sometimes so called: these are his creatures, act for him and under him, and are accountable to him:

the Lord of lords;
of the kings and princes of the earth, who have their crowns, sceptres, and kingdoms from him, and hold them of him, by and under whom they reign and decree judgment, and who are subject to his authority and control:

a great God;
as the perfections of his nature, the works of his hands, the blessings of his providence and grace, and the extensiveness of his dominion in heaven, earth, and hell, show him to be:

a mighty and a terrible;
mighty and powerful to help, protect, and defend his people; terrible to his and their enemies, even to the kings of the earth:

which regardeth not persons;
but bestows his favours, whether in a way of providence or grace, according to his sovereign will and pleasure, without regard to the works and merits of men, their characters or circumstances:

nor taketh reward;
or bribes, to avert threatened and deserved judgments; see ( Job 36:18 Job 36:19 ) .

15 Solamente de tus padres se agradó el SEÑOR para amarlos, y escogió su simiente después de ellos, a vosotros, de entre todos los pueblos, como lo demuestra en este día

16 Circuncidad, pues, el prepucio de vuestro corazón, y no endurezcáis más vuestra cerviz

17 Porque el SEÑOR vuestro Dios es Dios de dioses, y Señor de señores, Dios grande, poderoso, y terrible, que no hace acepción de personas, ni toma soborno

18 que hace derecho al huérfano y a la viuda; que ama también al extranjero dándole pan y vestido

19 Amaréis, pues, al extranjero; porque extranjeros fuisteis vosotros en tierra de Egipto
