He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
He showeth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. The same reference to God's 'statutes and judgments' occurs in the parallel history, Nehemiah 9:13-14; Nehemiah 10:29 - the distinguishing glory of Israel. The revelation of God to her at Sinai raised her above all peoples as the only one who knew the will of the one true God. (Deuteronomy 33:2-4; Deuteronomy 4:32-34; Romans 3:1-2). This conclusion assigns the ground of God's return in mercy to Israel-namely, His original choice of her as the repository of His truth.
