Deuteronomio 32:12 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 32:12

[So] the Lord alone did lead him
Out of Egypt, through the wilderness, to the land of Canaan, going before them in a pillar of fire and cloud; though this is not to be understood to the exclusion of the ministry of Moses and Aaron, by whom he led them, ( Psalms 77:20 ) ; it may be interpreted of the people being alone in the wilderness when led:

and [there was] no strange god with him;
with Israel; so Aben Ezra, no idolatry among them then; to which sense are the Targums of Jerusalem and Jonathan; but it may rather signify that the Lord alone was the leader of his people, and he had no assistant in that work, and therefore all the glory should be given to him: he is the leader of his people, in a spiritual sense, out of a state of unregeneracy, which is a state of darkness and bondage; out of the ways of sin, and from the pastures of their own righteousness, into an open state of grace, which is a state of light and liberty; in Christ the way, and in the paths of faith, truth, holiness, and righteousness, unto the heavenly glory, typified by the land of Canaan, the blessings of which are next described: the Jews say ^F26, this will be in the days of the King Messiah; when there will be no abominable thing in Israel, the Lord alone shall lead him.

Deuteronomio 32:12 In-Context

10 Lo encontró en tierra desierta, en la horrenda soledad de un desierto; lo rodeó, cuidó de él, lo guardó como a la niña de sus ojos.

11 Como un águila que despierta su nidada, que revolotea sobre sus polluelos, extendió sus alas y los tomó, los llevó sobre su plumaje.

12 El SEÑOR solo lo guió, y con él no hubo dios extranjero.

13 Lo hizo cabalgar sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió el producto del campo; le hizo gustar miel de la peña, y aceite del pedernal,

14 cuajada de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de raza de Basán y machos cabríos, con lo mejor del trigo; y de la sangre de uvas bebiste vino.
