(for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You have brought out of Egypt, out of the midst of the iron furnace),

For YAH has chosen Jacob unto Himself, Israel for His valued treasure.

who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and purify a people for His own possession, zealous unto good works.

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
