Ramban on Deuteronomy 26:18/רמב"ן על דברים כ״ו:י״ח
אוְאָמַר וַה' הֶאֱמִירְךָ הַיּוֹם, כִּי הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה לָכֶם כְּיוֹם סִינַי, וְהַשֵּׁם רוֹמֵם וְגִדֵּל אֶתְכֶם בְּקִבּוּל הַתּוֹרָה שֶׁתִּהְיוּ לוֹ לְעַם סְגֻלָּה מִכֹּל הָעַמִּים וְלִשְׁמֹר כָּל מִצְוֹתָיו, כִּי לָכֶם לְבַדְּכֶם יִתֵּן תּוֹרָתוֹ וִיצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם בְּכָל הַמִּצְוֹת הָרְצוּיוֹת לְפָנָיו, לֹא לְעַם אַחֵר, כְּעִנְיָן שֶׁכָּתוּב (תהלים קמז יט כ) מַגִּיד דְּבָרָיו לְיַעֲקֹב חֻקָּיו וּמִשְׁפָּטָיו לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא עָשָׂה כֵן לְכָל גּוֹי:
1AND THE ETERNAL HATH AVOUCHED THEE. For this day is to you as the day of [the Revelation on] Sinai, and G-d exalted and magnified you by your acceptance of the Torah in order that you be His own treasure from among all peoples,44 and that thou shouldest keep all His commandments,45 for, to you alone He gave His Torah and commanded you with all the commandments that are desireable before Him and to no other nation. It is similar to what is written, He declareth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation.46
