Deuteronomy 33:2-4

The Voice

The Lord has “called Israel His own” in the way that cities and territories in the ancient world are named after those who have explored, settled, or conquered them. It is understood that the person whose name is attached to a place will have continuing interests there, such as preventing anyone else from taking the crops, oppressing the people, and so forth. The Lord’s name is literally “over” the people of Israel, providing shelter and protection. Anyone who wants to harass them has to answer to Him, so His great reputation will keep them safe from marauders. If they are trusting and obedient, they will be protected from spiritual dangers and attacks by the power and reputation of the One who has called them by His own name.

²Moses: The Eternal came from Mount Sinai:
    He glowed like the dawn over Mount Seir;
        He shone like the sun over Mount Paran;
    He arose in the middle of His chosen ones, gathered in their tens of thousands.
        The law was a flame in His right hand.^[a]
³    Truly He loves His people;
        all Your chosen ones are in Your hand.
        They gathered at Your feet and received Your words.
⁴    Moses gave us a law to keep;
        it will always belong to the people of Jacob.
