Deuteronomy 32:7-9

New International Version - UK

⁷ Remember the days of old;
    consider the generations long past.
Ask your father and he will tell you,
    your elders, and they will explain to you.
⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
    when he divided all mankind,
he set up boundaries for the peoples
    according to the number of the sons of Israel.^[a]
9 For the Lord’s portion is his people,
    Jacob his allotted inheritance.
