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 Le halló en tierra de desierto, y en un desierto horrible y yermo; lo trajo alrededor, lo instruyó, lo guardó como la niña de su ojo

11 Como el águila que despierta su nidada, revolotea sobre sus pollos, extiende sus alas, los toma, los lleva sobre sus espaldas

12 el SEÑOR solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno

13 Lo hizo subir sobre las alturas de la tierra, y comió los frutos del campo, e hizo que chupara miel de la peña, y aceite del pedernal fuerte

14 manteca de vacas y leche de ovejas, con grosura de corderos, y carneros de los hijos de Basán (fructificación); también machos cabríos, con grosura de riñones de trigo; y sangre de la uva bebiste, vino puro
