10 And confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 While as yet they were men easily counted, —A very few, and sojourners therein;
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
13 And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.
And they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14 He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—[even] kings!
He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his senators wisdom.

33 And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their borders.
34 He spake—then came the swarming locust, —The devouring locust, and that without number;
He spake, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, and that without number,
35 And devoured all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
36 Then smote he every firstborn in their land, The beginning of all their strength;

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word, With Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant.
43 Thus brought he forth his people with gladness, —With shouts of triumph, his chosen ones;
And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with singing.
44 And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:
And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the labour of the peoples in possession:
45 In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.
That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
