Deuteronomy 32:6-8
American Standard Version
6 Do ye thus requite Jehovah,
O foolish people and unwise?
Is not he thy father that hath [a]bought thee?
He hath made thee, and established thee.
7 Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations:
Ask thy father, and he will show thee;
Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
When he separated the children of men,
He set the bounds of the peoples
According to the number of the children of Israel.
