Commentary

And the Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself,.... Having separated them from all others, for his service, honour, and glory, sho uld continue them as such, and settle them in the land, and confirm all their privileges, natural, civil, and religious. The Targum of Jonathan is,"the Word of the Lord shall establish thee, &c.''he that brought them out of Egypt, through the Red sea and wilderness, to the land of Canaan: as he hath sworn unto thee: and to their fathers; see Deu 7:12 , if thou shall keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways; by which tenure they held the land of Canaan, and their settlement and continuance in it, and enjoyment of all the good things thereof; see Isa 1:19 .
