1 Chronicles 17:21 meaning and explanation
And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.
1 Chronicles 17:21, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
David is praying before the LORD after Nathan's oracle, and in this verse he turns from God's promise to his own house and marvels at Israel's unique place. The word "redeem" translates the Hebrew ga'al, the kinsman who buys back a relative, and David uses it of God rescuing a people for Himself.
