from the just man [Jacob], delivered?
25 But thus saith the LORD, Even that, captured by the mighty, shall be taken
away, and that, captivated by the despot, shall be delivered: for I will contend
with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.
26. And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be
drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I
the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty Owner of Jacob.

The Torah expressly indicates that the God Jehovah chose the Israelites to per-
form his ends:

……………………………………………………….
2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour
for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which
is good and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will
make an everlasting covenant with you as a reward of a permanent devotion of
David.
4. Behold, I have set him a witness to the people, a master and commander to
the people.
5. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and a nation that knew
not thee shall run unto thee to fulfill thy will in the name of the LORD of Israel;
for he hath glorified thee.
……………………………………………………….. 182

At that, the God Jehovah gives detailed instructions about the methods of taking
power in different countries:

………………………………………………………...
14. When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and
shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me,
like as all the nations that are about me;
15. Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall
choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest
not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
……………………………………………………….. 183

It turns out quite an “interesting” situation: in any country where the Israelites
come at the “command” of their God, they must take power, setting a ruler (a king,
president or prime minister) from the Israelites, and only from the Israelites and in no
way from the goyim (strangers)! But these “strangers” are the natives of this country,
whose ancestors had lived there for many generations! And if the Israelites have just
come to this country, exactly they are the real strangers in it!
