On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Israel is God's peculiar treasure above all people ( Exod. xix. 5 ); they are his Segullah, a people appropriated to him, and that he has a delight in, precious in his sight and honourable. For this distinguishing surprising favour, if the seed of Jacob do not praise him, they are the most unworthy ungrateful people under the sun.
