Deuteronomy 32:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Remember the days long past;
    consider the years long gone.
Ask your father, he will tell you about it;
    ask your elders, they will give you the details:
⁸ When God Most High divided up the nations—
        when he divided up humankind—
    he decided the people’s boundaries
        based on the number of the gods.^[a]
9 Surely the Lord’s property was his people;
    Jacob was his part of the inheritance.
