Sirach 44:22-23

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²² To Isaac also he gave the same assurance
    for the sake of his father Abraham.
The blessing of all people and a covenant^(A)
23     he made to rest on the head of Jacob;
he acknowledged him with his blessings
    and gave him his inheritance;
he divided his portions
    and distributed them among twelve tribes.

From his descendants the Lord^[a] brought forth a man of compassion
    who found favor in the sight of all^(B)
