SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:43
Alabad, gentiles, a su pueblo, porque él vengará la sangre de sus siervos, y volverá la venganza a sus enemigos, y expiará su tierra, a su pueblo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:43
Verse 43. Rejoice, O ye nations] Ye Gentiles, for the casting off of the Jews shall be the means of your ingathering with his people, for they shall not be utterly cast off. (See Rom. xv. 9, for in this way the apostle applies it.) But how shall the Gentiles be called, and the Jews have their iniquity purged? He will be merciful unto his land and to his people, rpkw vechipper, he shall cause an atonement to be made for his land and people; i. e., Jesus Christ, the long promised Messiah, shall be crucified for Jews and Gentiles, and the way to the holiest be made plain by his blood. The people have long been making atonements for themselves, but to none effect, for their atonements were but signs, and not the thing signified, for the body is Christ; now the Lord himself makes an atonement, for the Lamb of God alone taketh away the sin of the world. This is a very proper and encouraging conclusion to the awfully important matter of this poem.
Israel shall be long scattered, peeled, and punished, but they shall have mercy in the latter times; they also shall rejoice with the Gentiles, in the common salvation purchased by the blood of the saviour of all mankind.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 43. Rejoice, O ye nations, [with] his people , etc.] Or, “rejoice, ye nations”, who are “his” people; so Kimchi and Ben Melech interpret it; the Gentiles, who are the Lord’s chosen and covenant people, redeemed and called, and the fulness of them now brought in, and so matter of great rejoicing; or rather, as the Septuagint, which is approved and confirmed by the Apostle Paul, “rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people”, ( Romans 15:10); and as it is there applied to the then state of the Christian church, when Jews and Gentiles were incorporated and united together; so here it respects future time, when, as the fulness of the Gentiles will be brought in, so the Jews will be converted, and the “loammi”, ( Hosea 1:9), will be taken off from them, and they will be reckoned among the people of God; and Jews and Gentiles will be joined together in the same Gospel church state, and so are called upon to rejoice in their common salvation, and in their common blessings and privileges, and particularly for what follows: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries ; by his servants are meant the martyrs of Jesus, whose blood has been shed by antichrist, and the antichristian powers, his adversaries; as the blood of the Waldenses in the valleys of Piedmont, the Albigenses in Spain, and the Petrobrussians in France, the Bohemians in Germany, the Wickliffites, Lollards and the “martyrs” in Queen Mary’s days in England, with many others; and when inquisition is made for blood, the blood of those will be found out, and vengeance rendered for it: and will be merciful unto his land, [and] to his people : or “will atone for” f625 , expiate, cleanse, and purge both land and people; clear the whole earth, which is the Lord’s, from Mahometanism, Paganism, and Popery, and cover it with the knowledge of the Lord by the everlasting Gospel, which will be preached to all nations; and particularly the land of Canaan, laid under an anathema or curse, as threatened, ( Malachi 4:6); under which it has lain ever since the destruction of it by the Romans, and has ever since been inhabited by Pagans, Mahometans, and Papists; and, though once a land flowing with milk and honey, has been turned into a barren wilderness, and will thus remain, and Jerusalem, its metropolis, trodden down by the Gentiles, until their times are fulfilled; which now will be, and then it will be restored to its former fruitfulness and fertility, ( Luke 21:24 Ezekiel 34:25-27); and will be inhabited by the converted Jews, to whom the Lord will be pacified, upon the foot or Christ’s atonement, which now will be made known and applied unto them, with the full and free pardon of all their sins, ( Romans 11:25-27); and thus ends this most excellent and wonderful song, which is of such a large extent and compass, as to reach from the beginning of the Jewish nation, and before it, to the conversion of the Jews in the latter day; an history of more than four thousand years already; and how long more is yet to come before all in it is fulfilled no man call say.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-43 - This conclusion of the song speaks, 1. Glory to God. No escape can be made from his power. 2. It speaks terror to his enemies. Terror indee to those who hate him. The wrath of God is here revealed from heave against them. 3. It speaks comfort to his own people. The son concludes with words of joy. Whatever judgments are brought upo sinners, it shall go well with the people of God.
