لَمْ يَرْفُضِ اللهُ شَعْبَهُ الَّذِي سَبَقَ فَعَرَفَهُ. أَمْ لَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَاذَا يَقُولُ الْكِتَابُ فِي إِيلِيَّا؟ كَيْفَ يَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَى اللهِ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلاً:

God hath--"did" not cast away his people--that is, wholly which he foreknew--On the word "foreknew," see on Rom 8:29. Wot--that is, "Know" ye not that the scripture saith of--literally, "in," that is, in the section which relates to Elias? how he maketh intercession--"pleadeth" against Israel--(The word "saying," which follows, as also the particle "and" before "digged down," should be omitted, as without manuscript authority).
افتح المصدر ↗The apostle, having reconciled that great truth of the rejection of the Jews with the promise made unto the fathers, is, in this chapter, further labouring to mollify the harshness of it, and to reconcile it to the divine goodness in general. It might be said, "Hath God then cast away his people?" The apostles therefore sets himself, in this chapter, to make a reply to this objection, and that two ways: - I. He shows at large what the mercy is that is mixed with this wrath (v. 1-32). II. He infers thence the infinite wisdom and sovereignty of God, with the adoration of which he concludes this chapter and subject (Rom 11:33-36).
افتح المصدر ↗11:2 chose from the very beginning: Before the people of Israel could do anything to earn their status, God selected them to be his people based on his grace alone. • Elijah the prophet: In 1 Kgs 19:1-18, the apostate King Ahab had slaughtered many of the Lord’s prophets, and Ahab’s wife Jezebel threatened Elijah with the same fate. Elijah fled to the wilderness, where he bemoaned his fate. God responded with the assurance that many faithful people remained. Paul found the present situation to be somewhat parallel. While many Jews did not believe, and some were even hostile, God was (and is) still working to preserve a believing remnant.

لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ لاَ يَرْفُضُ شَعْبَهُ، وَلاَ يَتْرُكُ مِيرَاثَهُ.
بِمُقْتَضَى عِلْمِ اللهِ الآبِ السَّابِقِ، فِي تَقْدِيسِ الرُّوحِ لِلطَّاعَةِ، وَرَشِّ دَمِ يَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ: لِتُكْثَرْ لَكُمُ النِّعْمَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يُوسُفُ: «مَا هذَا الْفَِعْلُ الَّذِي فَعَلْتُمْ؟ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ رَجُلاً مِثْلِي يَتَفَاءَلُ؟»
وَلِكَيْ يُبَيِّنَ غِنَى مَجْدِهِ عَلَى آنِيَةِ رَحْمَةٍ قَدْ سَبَقَ فَأَعَدَّهَا لِلْمَجْدِ،
وَلَمَّا رَأَى الشَّعْبُ أَنَّ مُوسَى أَبْطَأَ فِي النُّزُولِ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ، اجْتَمَعَ الشَّعْبُ عَلَى هَارُونَ وَقَالُوا لَهُ: «قُمِ اصْنَعْ لَنَا آلِهَةً تَسِيرُ أَمَامَنَا، لأَنَّ هذَا مُوسَى الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي أَصْعَدَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، لاَ نَعْلَمُ مَاذَا أَصَابَهُ».
فَاغْتَاظَ مُوسَى جِدًّا وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «لاَ تَلْتَفِتْ إِلَى تَقْدِمَتِهِمَا. حِمَارًا وَاحِدًا لَمْ آخُذْ مِنْهُمْ، وَلاَ أَسَأْتُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ».
«وَالآنَ أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، أَنَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ بِجَهَالَةٍ عَمِلْتُمْ، كَمَا رُؤَسَاؤُكُمْ أَيْضًا.
اَللهُ، بَعْدَ مَا كَلَّمَ الآبَاءَبِالأَنْبِيَاءِ قَدِيمًا، بِأَنْوَاعٍ وَطُرُق كَثِيرَةٍ،
قَائِلِينَ لِهَارُونَ: اعْمَلْ لَنَا آلِهَةً تَتَقَدَّمُ أَمَامَنَا، لأَنَّ هذَا مُوسَى الَّذِي أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ لاَ نَعْلَمُ مَاذَا أَصَابَهُ!
أَمَّا يَسُوعُ فَرَجَعَ مِنَ الأُرْدُنِّ مُمْتَلِئًا مِنَ الرُّوحِ الْقُدُسِ، وَكَانَ يُقْتَادُ بِالرُّوحِ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ
