Clarke's Deuteronomy 32:12 Bible Commentary
So the Lord alone did lead him - By his power, and by his only, were they brought out of Egypt, and supported in the wilderness.
And there was no strange god - They had help from no other quarter. The Egyptian idols were not able to save their own votaries; but God not only saved his people, but destroyed the Egyptians.
Barnes's Deuteronomy 32:12 Bible Commentary
With him - i. e., with God. The Lord alone delivered Israel; Israel therefore ought to have served none other but Him.

32:12 Did lead them - When they were shut up in Egypt as in their nest whence they durst not venture to fly nor stir, he taught and encouraged and enabled them to fly out from that bondage, he dealt tenderly with them, bearing with their infirmities, keeping them from all harms. With him - To assist him at that work or to deliver them. The more unworthy they in giving to idols a share in that worship which they owe to God only.
