One's very own, exclusive, or special; not used in the Bible as odd or eccentric. The Hebrew word segullah, which is translated peculiar in Deut. 14: 2 and Deut. 26: 18, is translated special in Deut. 7: 6. Compare the various translations of the same word in Ex. 19: 5; Ps. 135: 4; Eccl. 2: 8; Mal. 3: 17. Titus 2: 14 and 1 Pet. 2: 9 should carry the meaning of the saints' being the Lord's own special people or treasure.
