Deuteronomy 32:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Remember the days of old,
    consider the years of previous generations.
Ask your father, and he will show you;
    your elders, and they will tell you:
⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
    when He separated the sons of man,^[a]
He set the boundaries of the peoples
    according to the number of the children of Israel.
⁹ For the Lord’s portion is His people;
    Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.
