Deuteronomy 9:29 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 9:29

Yet they are thy people
Though they had sinned against him:

and thine inheritance;
which he would not forsake and cast off; at least Moses hoped on this account he would not, and makes use thereof as an argument with him why he should not, and which he repeats, adding in effect what he had said before:

which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and stretched out arm;
even out of the land of Egypt; the doing of which was plainly the effect of his almighty power, and an evidence of it, considering the weakness of Israel and the strength of Egypt, and the manner in which the Lord brought about this surprising event.

Deuteronomy 9:29 In-Context

27 Remember thy slaves, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people nor to their wickedness nor to their sin,

28 lest those of the land from which thou didst bring us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them or because he hated them, he has brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

29 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou didst bring out by thy mighty power and by thy outstretched arm.
