Deuteronomy 32:8-12

Complete Jewish Bible

⁸“When ‘Elyon gave each nation its heritage,
when he divided the human race,
he assigned the boundaries of peoples
according to Isra’el’s population;
⁹but Adonai’s share was his own people,
Ya‘akov his allotted heritage.

¹⁰“He found his people in desert country,
in a howling, wasted wilderness.
He protected him and cared for him,
guarded him like the pupil of his eye,
¹¹like an eagle that stirs up her nest,
hovers over her young,
spreads out her wings, takes them
and carries them as she flies.

¹²“Adonai alone led his people;
no alien god was with him.
