Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I will take you to me for a people,.... Out of the hands of the Egyptians, and out of their country, to be in a political sense his kingdom and subjects; and in a religious sense a holy people to himself, to fear, serve, worship, and glorify him, by walking according to laws and rules given them by him; and this he did by setting up and establishing a civil and ecclesiastical polity among them:
and I will be to you a God; their King and their God to rule over them, protect and defend them, they being a theocracy; and their covenant God and Father, giving them various spiritual privileges, the adoption, the glory, the covenant, the law, service, and promises:
and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God; by the promises fulfilled, the favours granted, and the deliverances wrought for them:
which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians; see the preceding verse Exodus 6:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 6:7. I will take you to me for a people, c. — This was precisely the covenant that he had made with Abraham. See Genesis 17:7, and Genesis 17:7.
And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God — By thus fulfilling my promises ye shall know what is implied in my name. Exodus 6:3.
But why should God take such a most stupid, refractory, and totally worthless people for his people?
1. Because he had promised to do so to their noble ancestors Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Judah, c., men worthy of all praise, because in general friends of God, devoted to his will and to the good of mankind.
2. "That (as Bishop Warburton properly observes) the extraordinary providence by which they were protected, might become the more visible and illustrious for had they been endowed with the shining qualities of the more polished nations, the effects of that providence might have been ascribed to their own wisdom."
3. That God might show to all succeeding generations that he delights to instruct the ignorant, help the weak, and save the lost for if he bore long with Israel, showed them especial mercy, and graciously received them whenever they implored his protection, none need despair. God seems to have chosen the worst people in the universe, to give by them unto mankind the highest and most expressive proofs, that he wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his iniquity and live.
