Commentaire sur Le Deutéronome 26:18
וַֽיהוָ֞ה הֶאֱמִֽירְךָ֣ הַיּ֗וֹם לִהְי֥וֹת לוֹ֙ לְעַ֣ם סְגֻלָּ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־לָ֑ךְ וְלִשְׁמֹ֖ר כָּל־מִצְוֺתָֽיו׃
et l’Éternel t’a glorifié à son tour en te conviant à être son peuple privilégié, comme il te l’a annoncé, et à garder tous ses commandements.
Rashi on Deuteronomy
כאשר דבר לך AS HE HATH PROMISED THEE — in the words (Exodus 19:5) “Ye shall be a select portion unto Me” (Mekhilta d'Rabbi Yishmael 12:25).

Ramban on Deuteronomy
AND THE ETERNAL HATH AVOUCHED THEE. For this day is to you as the day of [the Revelation on] Sinai, and G-d exalted and magnified you by your acceptance of the Torah in order that you be His own treasure from among all peoples,44Exodus 19:5. and that thou shouldest keep all His commandments,45In Verse 18 before us. for, to you alone He gave His Torah and commanded you with all the commandments that are desireable before Him and to no other nation. It is similar to what is written, He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation.46Psalms 147:19-20.
