SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:12
el SEÑOR solo le guió, que no hubo con él dios ajeno.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:12
Verse 12. So the Lord alone did lead him] By his power, and by his only, were they brought out of Egypt, and supported in the wilderness. And there was no strange god] They had help from no other quarter. The Egyptian idols were not able to save their own votaries; but God not only saved his people, but destroyed the Egyptians.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. [So] the Lord alone did lead him , etc.] 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, ( Psalm 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 f585 , 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-14 - Moses gives particular instances of God's kindness and concern for them. The eagle's care for her young is a beautiful emblem of Christ' love, who came between Divine justice and our guilty souls, and bar our sins in his own body on the tree. And by the preached gospel, an the influences of the Holy Spirit, He stirs up and prevails upo sinners to leave Satan's bondage. In ver. #(13, 14), are emblems of the conquest believers have over their spiritual enemies, sin, Satan, an the world, in and through Christ. Also of their safety and triumph in him; of their happy frames of soul, when they are above the world, an the things of it. This will be the blessed case of spiritual Israel in every sense in the latter day.
