Exodus 19:5-6
5Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be amy treasured possession among all peoples, for ball the earth is mine; 6and you shall be to me a ckingdom of priests and da holy nation'. These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”Deuteronomy 4:7
7For ewhat great nation is there that has fa god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?Deuteronomy 26:18
18And the Lord has declared today that you are ga people for his treasured possession, as he has promised you, and that you are to keep all his commandments,Deuteronomy 32:10-15
10 “He found him hin a desert land,and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he iencircled him, he cared for him,
he jkept him as the apple of his eye.
11 kLike an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 lthe Lord alone guided him,
mno foreign god was with him.
13 nHe made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with ohoney out of the rock,
and poil out of qthe flinty rock.
14Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat ▼
▼That is, with the best
of lambs,rams of Bashan and goats,
with the very finest ▼
▼Hebrew with the kidney fat
of the wheat—and you drank foaming wine made from tthe blood of the grape.
15 “But uJeshurun grew fat, and vkicked;
wyou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
xthen he forsook God ywho made him
and scoffed at zthe Rock of his salvation.
Psalms 135:4
4For the Lord has aachosen Jacob for himself,Israel as his abown possession.
Psalms 147:20
20He achas not dealt thus with any other nation;they do not know his rules. ▼
▼Or his just decrees
aePraise the Lord!
