But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.

But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day.

Remember that the Lord rescued you from the iron smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you his very own people and his special possession, which is what you are today.

But the LORD selected you and brought you out of Egypt’s iron furnace to be a people for his inheritance, as you are today.

But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be a people of His own possession, as today.

But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

After all, they are your people. They belong to you. You brought them out of Egypt. You brought them out of that furnace that melts iron down and makes it pure.

I gave those terms to your people of long ago. That was when I brought them out of Egypt. I saved them out of that furnace that melts down iron and makes it pure.’ I said,‘ Obey me. Do everything I command you to do. Then you will be my people. And I will be your God.

But they are your people. They belong to you. You used your great power to bring them out of Egypt. You reached out your mighty arm and saved them.”

But God chose you to be his people. You are royal priests. You are a holy nation. You are God’s special treasure. You are all these things so that you can give him praise. God brought you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

The Lord’ s people are his share. Jacob is the nation he has received.

Now obey me completely. Keep my covenant. If you do, then out of all the nations you will be my special treasure. The whole earth is mine.But you will be a kingdom of priests to serve me. You will be my holy nation.’ That is what you must tell the Israelites.”

He gave himself for us. By doing that, he set us free from all evil. He wanted to make us pure. He wanted us to be his very own people. He wanted us to desire to do what is good.

Lord, why do you let us wander away from you? Why do you let us become so stubborn that we don’t respect you? Come back and help us. We are the tribes that belong to you.For a little while your holy people possessed the land. But now our enemies have torn your temple down.

The Lord has chosen the people of Jacob to be his own. He has chosen Israel to be his special treasure.

Save your people. Bless those who belong to you. Be their shepherd. Take care of them forever.

I prayed to him.“ Lord and King,” I said,“ don’t destroy your people. They belong to you. You set them free by your great power. You used your mighty hand to bring them out of Egypt.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. Blessed are the people he chose to be his own.

I pray that you may understand more clearly. Then you will know the hope God has chosen you to receive. You will know that what God will give his holy people is rich and glorious.
