The Jews were a peculiar people

 

Deut 7:6 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.

Deut 14:2  Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God: and he chose thee to be his peculiar people of all nations that are upon the earth


Deut 26:18 And the Lord hath chosen thee this day, to be his peculiar people, as he hath spoken to thee, and to keep all his commandments:

Ver. 6.  Peculiar.  Heb. sogula, laid up like something most precious and desirable.  M. --- God seemed to have abandoned other nations to the corruption of their own heart.  "This was, by a particular mystery, a prophetical nation."  S. Aug. ep. cii.  Ex. xix. 5.  C. --- Therefore must they destroy every idol in their land, to set a pattern to all other less favoured nations how they ought also to treat them.
