וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ אַךְ־עַמִּ֣י הֵ֔מָּה בָּנִ֖ים לֹ֣א יְשַׁקֵּ֑רוּ וַיְהִ֥י לָהֶ֖ם לְמוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
Sebab Ia berfirman, “Sesungguhnya mereka adalah umat-Ku, anak-anak yang tidak akan berkhianat.” Maka Ia menjadi Penyelamat bagi mereka.
Rashi
They are but My people Although it is revealed before Me that they would betray Me, they are, nevertheless, My people, and they are to Me like children who will not deal falsely.
Ibn Ezra
For he said. This is an anthropomorphism.14In reality, such a miscalculation cannot be attributed to the Omniscient; but the prophet means to say that God favoured the Israelites to such a degree that they ought to have been faithful servants of the Lord at all times. He thought they would become faithful children, and therefore he helped them.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“For He said: surely they are My people, children who will not deal falsely, etc.” [63:8]. He said: just as the Holy One has taken them as a nation when they left Egypt. The Holy One says about Israel: they should be My people forever and they will not deal falsely with Me.
