"The Portion of Jacob" refers to God as the inheritance and possession of the people of Israel, highlighting a personal and covenantal relationship. Unlike the lifeless idols made by human hands, God is living and active. This distinction is emphasized throughout the Old Testament, where God is portrayed as unique and incomparable (<a href="/isaiah/40-18.htm">Isaiah 40:18-20</a>). The term "Portion" signifies a deep, sustaining relationship, as seen in <a href="/psalms/73-26.htm">Psalm 73:26</a>, where God is described as the strength and portion forever.for He is the Maker of all things This phrase underscores God's sovereignty and creative power, setting Him apart from idols, which are created by humans. The assertion that God is the "Maker of all things" affirms His role as the Creator of the universe, a theme prevalent in <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a> and reiterated in <a href="/john/1-3.htm">John 1:3</a>. This creative authority establishes God's supremacy over all creation, including the nations and their gods, reinforcing His omnipotence and the futility of idol worship.and of the tribe of His inheritance This phrase refers to Israel as God's chosen people, His special possession among the nations. The concept of Israel as God's inheritance is rooted in <a href="/deuteronomy/32-9.htm">Deuteronomy 32:9</a>, where it is stated that "the LORD's portion is His people."
