Deuteronômio 32:9 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 32:9

For the Lord's portion [is] his people, Jacob [is] the lot of
his inheritance.
] This is the reason why the Lord so early provided a portion or inheritance for the children of Israel in the land of Canaan; because they were his part, his portion, his inheritance, which he chose by lot for himself, or allotted to himself; whom he chose to be his special and peculiar people; for though all the world is his, he only reserved a part for himself, which he separated from all the rest, and considers as his portion and inheritance, see ( Psalms 33:12 ) ; thus the spiritual Israel of God, as they are his people, whom he has chosen, taken into covenant, given to Christ, and are redeemed and saved by him; they are his part or portion, separated by distinguishing grace from the rest of the world; and are the inheritance of Christ, who is appointed heir of all things, and is an unalienable inheritance; and is obtained by lot, or rather is measured out by a rod or line; by the line of electing grace, by which the church and people of God are circumscribed, marked out, and distinguished from others; and by the line and rule of the sacred Scriptures, which are the measure and standard of faith and practice, of worship and discipline to them.

Deuteronômio 32:9 In-Context

7 “Lembrem-se dos dias do passado;considerem as gerações há muito passadas.Perguntem aos seus pais, e estes contarão a vocês,aos seus líderes, e eles explicarão a vocês.
8 Quando o Altíssimo deu às nações a sua herança,quando dividiu toda a humanidade,estabeleceu fronteiras para os povosde acordo com o número dos filhos de Israel.
9 Pois o povo preferido do SENHOR é este povo,Jacó é a herança que lhe coube.
10 “Numa terra deserta ele o encontrou,numa região árida e de ventos uivantes.Ele o protegeu e dele cuidou;guardou-o como a menina dos seus olhos,
11 como a águia que desperta a sua ninhada,paira sobre os seus filhotes,e depois estende as asas para apanhá-los,levando-os sobre elas.
