Safety in Separation
Commentators highlight that Israel dwelling "alone" is not about loneliness but about security and holy distinction. This separation from other nations is a source of their unique safety. Charles Spurgeon notes, "There is no place for God's people like a separated place." For believers, this speaks to the security found in being set apart for God and finding our identity solely in Him.
