Deuteronomy 32:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Moses sings this song to Israel on the plains of Moab, recalling how God apportioned the world among the nations. The Hebrew reads "according to the number of the sons of God," a phrase most likely referring to heavenly beings, though the Greek Septuagint and a Dead Sea scroll read "angels of God" and the Masoretic Text as printed says "sons of Israel." The point is that the Most High, Elyon, set every nation's boundary, yet reserved one people as His own portion.
