This shall be written; this wonderful deliverance shall not be lost nor forgotten, but carefully recorded by thy people. For the generation to come; for the instruction and encouragement of all succeeding generations. The singular number put for the plural, as is ordinary. The people which shall be created; which may be understood, either,
1. Of the Jews which should be restored, who were in a manner dead and buried in the grave, and mere dry bones, Isaiah 26:19 Eze 37; and therefore their restoration might well be called a creation; or, as it is elsewhere, a resurrection. Or,
2. Of the Gentiles who should be converted, whose conversion is frequently, and might very justly, be called a second creation. See Isaiah 43:1,7,15 65:18 Ephesians 2:10,15.
