Deuteronomy 32:11

Deuteronomy 32:11

9 For ^athe Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

10 “He found him ^ain a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He ^bkept him as the apple of His eye.

11 ^aAs an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,

12 So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.

13 “He^a made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;

14 Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
^aWith fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the ^bblood of the grapes.

<< Deuteronomy 32:10

Deuteronomy 32:12 >>

As an eagle . . . fluttereth over her young—This beautiful and expressive metaphor is founded on the extraordinary care and attachment which the female eagle cherishes for her young. When her newly fledged progeny are sufficiently advanced to soar in their native element, she, in their first attempts at flying, supports them on the tip of her wing, encouraging, directing, and aiding their feeble efforts to longer and sublimer flights. So did God take the most tender and powerful care of His chosen people; He carried them out of Egypt and led them through all the horrors of the wilderness to the promised inheritance.
