Nehemiah9:7

Verſe 7. Thou art the Lord the God] Heb. That Lord, with an emphaſis, with an accent; and beſides thee there is none other. See verſe 6. This is proved by his free favours to Iſrael, and patient bearing with their evil manners in the wilderneſſe; there being not any God like unto our God, for pardoning of ſinne, and paſſing by the tranſgreſſion of the remnant of his heritage, Mic. 7.18.

And didſt chuſe Abram] God firſt choſe him for his love, and then loved him for his choice.

And broughtſt him out of Ʋr of the Chaldees] Pulling him as a brand out of that fire, where, till then, he had lived (and might elſe have died) an Idolater, Joſh. 24.2.

And gaveſt him the name of Abraham] See the Note on Gen. 17.5.
