Ulangan 9:29

9:29 They are your people, your valued property, ¹  whom you brought out with great strength and power. ² 

Ulangan 32:9

32:9 For the Lord’s allotment is his people,

Jacob is his special possession. ³ 

[9:29]  ¹ tn Heb “your inheritance.” See note at v. 26.

[9:29]  ² tn Heb “an outstretched arm.”

[32:9]  ³ tc Heb “the portion of his inheritance.” The LXX and Smr add “Israel” and BHS suggests the reconstruction: “The Lord’s allotment is Jacob, the portion of his inheritance is Israel” (cf. NAB). While providing good parallelism, it destroys a fine chiastic structure: “allotment” (a), “his people” (b), “Jacob (b’), and “inheritance” (a’).
