This a proper name that Moses gives to Yahweh, who, like a rock, is strong and able to protect his people. See how you translated this in [Deuteronomy 32:4](../32/04.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# who became your father ... who gave you birth
|
|
|
|
This compares Yahweh to a father and a mother. This means God caused them to live and to be a nation. Alternate translation: "who fathered you ... who gave life to you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
