Deuteronomy 32:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
7 Remember the days of old,
consider the years long past;
ask your father, and he will inform you;
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High[a] apportioned the nations,
when he divided humankind,
he fixed the boundaries of the peoples
according to the number of the gods;[b]
9 the Lord’s own portion was his people,
Jacob his allotted share.
