    The Bible, especially the Torah, called the Old Testament portrays a paternal relationship between God (Yahweh) and the nation of Israel. Th Bible also portrays Yahweh as the husband of the nation of Israel in a figurative sense.

    The following quotations from the Bible confirm the interpretations of the relationship between Yahweh and Israel.

    Isaiah 54:5 says:

    For your Maker is your husband - the Lord Almighty is his name - the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.

    Jeremiah 3:14 says:

    "Return, faithless people," declares the Lord, "for I am your husband. I will choose you-one from a town and two from a clan-and bring you to Zion.

    Zechariah 2:8 promises that God will punish all nations and people who have persecuted Israel.

    For this is what the Lord Almighty says: "After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you-for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye
