(Exodus, Ibid.) "this people whom You have redeemed": For all the world is Yours, and You have no people but Israel, viz. (Isaiah 43:21) "This people have I created for Myself, etc." And thus is it written (Song of Songs 6:8) "Sixty are the queens and eighty, are the concubines": "Sixty are the queens"—These are the sixty ten thousands (of Israel, who left Egypt); "and eighty, the concubines"—those below the age of twenty; "and young maidens without number"—the minors, who are numberless. Notwithstanding this, (only) "one is My dove"—Moses, who countervails them all.
) "this people whom You have redeemed" — For all the world
