(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.

(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.
