Book ◦ Chapter

But they are Your people
This phrase emphasizes the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. The concept of being "God's people" is rooted in the Abrahamic covenant (Genesis 12:1-3), where God promises to make Abraham's descendants a great nation. This identity is central to Israel's understanding of themselves and their unique role in God's plan. The idea of being God's chosen people is reiterated throughout the Old Testament, including inExodus 19:5-6, where God calls Israel a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation."

Your inheritance
The term "inheritance" signifies a special possession or heritage. In the context of Israel, it refers to the land promised to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 15:18-21). This inheritance is not just physical land but also a spiritual legacy, as seen inDeuteronomy 4:20, where God describes Israel as His inheritance. The concept of inheritance also points forward to the New Testament, where believers in Christ are described as God's inheritance (Ephesians 1:18).

whom You brought out
This phrase recalls the Exodus, the defining moment of deliverance for Israel. The Exodus is a central theme in the Old Testament, symbolizing God's power and faithfulness. It is frequently referenced as a reminder of God's ability to save and His commitment to His promises (Exodus 20:2). The deliverance from Egypt is also a type of Christ's redemptive work, as Jesus leads believers out of bondage to sin (Luke 9:31, where the term "departure" is literally "exodus").

by Your great power
The "great power" of God is demonstrated through the miraculous events of the Exodus, including the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision in the wilderness. These acts reveal God's sovereignty over creation and His ability to intervene in human history. The power of God is a recurring theme in Scripture, underscoring His omnipotence and the assurance that nothing is too difficult for Him (Jeremiah 32:17).

and outstretched arm.
The "outstretched arm" is a metaphor for God's active involvement and strength in delivering His people. This imagery is used throughout the Old Testament to describe God's mighty acts (Exodus 6:6,Psalm 136:12). It conveys the idea of God reaching down to rescue and protect His people. In the New Testament, this concept is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial death and resurrection are the ultimate demonstration of God's saving power (Romans 5:6-8).

Teaching Points

God's Faithfulness to His People
God remains faithful to His covenant promises, even when His people are unfaithful. This should encourage believers to trust in God's steadfast love and commitment.

The Power of Intercession
Moses' intercession for Israel highlights the importance of standing in the gap for others in prayer. Believers are called to pray for one another, trusting in God's mercy.

Identity as God's Inheritance
Just as Israel was God's inheritance, believers today are God's treasured possession. This identity should shape how we live and relate to God and others.

Remembering God's Mighty Acts
Reflecting on God's past deliverance and power strengthens our faith and trust in Him for present and future challenges.

Living as God's People
Being God's people comes with the responsibility to live according to His ways, reflecting His character to the world.

What Does Deuteronomy 9:29 Mean

But they are Your people

Moses speaks as an intercessor, appealing to the relationship God Himself established.

•Exodus 19:5-6 affirms, “Although the whole earth is Mine, you will be My treasured possession.”

•Deuteronomy 7:6-8 reminds Israel that God chose them “not because you were more numerous… but because the LORD loved you.”

•1 Peter 2:9 echoes the truth for every believer: “a people for God’s own possession.”

God’s ownership is covenantal and irrevocable; Moses’ plea rests on that certainty, not on Israel’s performance.

Your inheritance

To call Israel God’s “inheritance” means He values them as His own treasured portion.

•Deuteronomy 32:9: “For the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.”

•Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance.”

Inheritance language underscores permanence—God will not abandon what belongs to Him, even when discipline is necessary.

Whom You brought out

Moses points to the historical event of the Exodus, grounding his plea in God’s past faithfulness.

•Exodus 12:41 records the literal moment of deliverance after 430 years.

•Deuteronomy 26:8 looks back: “The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.”

Because God has acted before, Moses trusts He will act again; past grace guarantees future grace.

By Your great power

The deliverance was accomplished solely by God’s might, not Israel’s strength.

•Jeremiah 32:17: “Nothing is too difficult for You.”

•Ephesians 1:19-20 ties that same power to Christ’s resurrection, assuring believers it is still at work.

Acknowledging God’s power keeps pride in check and fuels confidence in prayer.

And outstretched arm

The “outstretched arm” pictures God’s active, personal intervention.

•Exodus 6:6: “I will redeem you with an outstretched arm.”

•Deuteronomy 4:34 andIsaiah 51:9 use the same image to celebrate decisive rescue.

God is neither distant nor indifferent; His arm reaches into history—ultimately seen when Christ stretched out His arms on the cross (Luke 1:51 celebrates the same mighty arm).

summary

Deuteronomy 9:29 is Moses’ bold reminder that Israel belongs to God, is cherished as His inheritance, has been literally delivered from bondage, and is sustained by unmatched power and personal care. Remembering these truths anchors faith, fuels intercession, and calls every believer to rest in the God who never forsakes His own.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(29)Thy people . . . which thou broughtest out.--SoExodus 32:11. It is noticeable that God said to Moses, "Thypeople whichthoubroughtest out . . . have corrupted themselves" (Exodus 32:7). Moses said, "Lord, why doth thy wrath wax hot againstthy people which thou hast brought forth?"
