Which verse is cited as showing God has respect for the children of Israel?

• A. Deuteronomy 7:9
• B. Exodus 2:25
• C. Psalm 147:2
• D. Jeremiah 32:40

Answer: (B)

This verse directly shows God’s favorable regard for Israel. In the moment they cried out under oppression, God heard them, remembered the covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and then looked upon the children of Israel with care, “having respect unto them.” That phrase communicates a special attention and kindness shown to Israel as God’s chosen people. The other verses convey related ideas about God’s relationship with Israel—faithfulness to the covenant, building and gathering the people, or promising to do good—but they do not contain the explicit statement that God “had respect unto” Israel in the way Exodus 2:25 does.
