Isaiah 63:8 - Exposition

He said, Surely they are my people. Israel was first recognized as "a people" in Egypt, when the creel Pharaoh, probably Sethos I said, "The people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we "( Exodus 1:9 ). Soon afterwards God acknowledged them as " his people" ( Exodus 3:7 ). The exiles probably go back in their thoughts to this time. Children that will not lie ; or, deal falsely , as the same word is translated in Psalms 44:17 . The meaning is, that surely they will be faithful to God, and not fall away from him into idolatry or irreligion.
