Deuteronomy 32:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ Remember the days of long ago;
    think about the generations past.
Ask your father, and he will inform you.
    Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you.
⁸ When the Most High assigned lands to the nations,
    when he divided up the human race,
he established the boundaries of the peoples
    according to the number in his heavenly court.^[a]

⁹ “For the people of Israel belong to the Lord;
    Jacob is his special possession.
