The Bible states that the Lord's portion is his people, referring to them as Jacob, highlighting God's special love and election.

In Deuteronomy 32:9, it is clearly articulated that 'the Lord's portion is his people,' wherein Jacob represents the entirety of God's saved community. This signifies that among all creation, God has chosen a specific group of people whom He loves and considers His inheritance.
