What does "My people" and "Your brothers" signify about God's relationship with Israel?

• “My people” — covenant ownership and intimate belonging; God publicly claims Israel as His redeemed nation and pledges steadfast faithfulness (Exodus 6:7; Hosea 1:10; 2:23; Jeremiah 31:33).

• “Your brothers” — familial solidarity inside that covenant; Israelites are to recognize one another as siblings sharing the same divine Father and inheritance (Hosea 2:1; Deuteronomy 14:1; Romans 9:3-4).

Together the expressions signal God’s restoration of Israel from estrangement to cherished family, underscoring covenant love, national unity, and divine adoption.
