Deuteronomy 32:8

Read in context

Deuteronomy 32:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?

7 Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.

8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.

9 But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
