Remember what happened a long time ago.
Think about the lives of your ancestors.
Ask your father or the old men.
    They will tell you what happened in the past.
The Most High God gave land to be the home of each nation.

He did that to match the number of angels in heaven.[b]
But the Lord himself takes care of his own people.
    Jacob's descendants are his special people.
