Deuteronomio 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.

Deuteronomio 32:9 In-Context

7 Recuerda los días pasados,
piensa en las generaciones anteriores.
Pregúntale a tu padre, y él te informará.
Averigua con los ancianos, y ellos te contarán.

8 Cuando el Altísimo asignó territorios a las naciones,
cuando dividió a la raza humana,
fijó los límites de los pueblos
según el número de su corte celestial.

9 »Pues el pueblo de Israel pertenece al Señor
;
Jacob es su posesión más preciada.

10 Él lo encontró en un desierto,
en un páramo vacío y ventoso.
Lo rodeó y lo cuidó;
lo protegió como a sus propios ojos.

11 Como un águila que aviva a sus polluelos
y revolotea sobre sus crías,
así desplegó sus alas para tomarlo y alzarlo
y llevarlo a salvo sobre sus plumas.
