신명기 4:20의 주석

מכור — a כור is a vessel in which one refines gold.

ואתכם לקח, to walk in His paths and to cleave to Him. Seeing that this is so, you have no need for depending on messages the gentiles perceive as being contained by their horoscopes.

ואתכם לקח ה', “but you- Hashem took out personally, etc.” Seeing that you are part of Hashem you have never had an intermediary appointed by Him to look after you, but He Himself takes care of you. He took you out of the iron crucible that is Egypt, and in doing so He overcame all the protective guardian angels that were appointed to look after the vital interests of the Egyptians. If Hashem had not first overcome those forces appointed by Him, you would never have been able to escape from there.
