Numeri 15:41 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 15:41

I [am] the Lord your God
Their Creator, Preserver, and Benefactor, their Lord and Sovereign, their covenant God and Father:

which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God;
to make it appear that he was their God in a special relation, and that he took the special care and government of them; and which was manifest by the system of laws he gave them to observe, as well as by his provision for them on all accounts, and by his protection of them:

I [am] the Lord your God;
who had a right to enact laws, and enjoin the observance of them, as he was the Lord Jehovah; and they were under obligation to regard them, as he was not only their Creator but their covenant God and Father, who had bestowed his favours liberally on them.

Numeri 15:41 In-Context

39 und es soll euch zu einer Quaste sein, daß ihr, wenn ihr sie ansehet, aller Gebote Jehovas gedenket und sie tuet, und daß ihr nicht umherspähet eurem Herzen und euren Augen nach, denen ihr nachhuret;
40 damit ihr aller meiner Gebote gedenket und sie tuet, und heilig seiet eurem Gott.
41 Ich bin Jehova, euer Gott, der ich euch aus dem Lande Ägypten herausgeführt habe, um euer Gott zu sein; ich bin Jehova, euer Gott.
