SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:9
Porque la parte del SEÑOR es su pueblo; Jacob el cordel de su heredad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 32:9
Verse 9. The Lord's portion is his people] What an astonishing saying! As holy souls take GOD for their portion, so GOD takes them for his portion. He represents himself as happy in his followers; and they are infinitely happy in, and satisfied with, God as their portion. This is what is implied in being a saint. He who is seeking for an earthly portion, has little commerce with the Most High.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 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 Psalm 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.
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.
