When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language, Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel his dominion. The exodus becomes the founding moment: Israel's departure from Egypt under God's protection. The designation of Judah as God's 'sanctuary' and Israel as his 'dominion' suggests that the liberated people become God's sacred space and realm. This verse frames exodus as the establishment of Israel as God's elect people.
