כִּֽי־יַעֲקֹ֗ב בָּחַ֣ר ל֣וֹ יָ֑הּ יִ֝שְׂרָאֵ֗ל לִסְגֻלָּתֽוֹ׃
Bo Jakóba wybrał sobie Pan, Izraela na własność Swą.
Zohar
AND THE LORD SPAKE UNTO MOSES SAYING, SPEAK UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT THEY TAKE ME A HEAVE OFFERING. R. Hiya, on coming to this portion, quoted the verse, “For Jacob hath chosen Kah unto himself, Israel is his costly possession” (Ps. 135, 4). Said he: ‘How beloved must Israel be to the Holy One, blessed be He, seeing that He has chosen them and desired to unite Himself with them and be bound up with them, making them a nation unique throughout all the world, as it is written: “Who is like unto thy people Israel, a unique people on earth?” (2 Sam. 7, 23). And they, too, have chosen Him and bound themselves up with Him, as it is written, “Jacob hath chosen Kah unto himself’. Yea, for over the other nations He appointed celestial principalities and powers, but reserved Israel for His own special portion.’
