Psalms 134:4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.

Possession. Hebrew, "jewel," "property." Chaldean, "well-beloved." See Deuteronomy 52:8., and Ecclesiasticus 17:14. (Calmet) --- The first patriarchs corresponded with God's goodness: but their descendants were for the most part ungrateful: so that Christians have now entered into their place, and must praise God. (Berthier)
