1 Chronicles 16:19
17 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
18 ‘I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.’
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
20 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
