1 Reis 8:53

53 Pois tu, ó Senhor Jeová, os separaste dentre todos os povos da terra, para serem a tua herança como falaste por intermédio de Moisés, teu servo, quando tiraste do Egito nossos pais.

1 Reis 8:53 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:53

For thou didst separate them from among all people of the
earth to be thine inheritance
By his choice of them in his own mind, by the redemption of them out of Egypt, by the peculiar laws he gave them, and by the special blessings he conferred upon them:

54 Sucedeu pois que, acabando Salomão de fazer ao Senhor esta oração e esta súplica, estando de joelhos e com as mãos estendidas para o céu, se levantou de diante do altar do Senhor,
55 pôs-se em pé, e abençoou em alta voz a toda a congregação de Israel, dizendo:
