Deuteronomy 32:8-9
_ _ When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance — In the division of the earth, which Noah is believed to have made by divine direction (Genesis 10:5; Deuteronomy 2:5-9; Acts 17:26, Acts 17:27), Palestine was reserved by the wisdom and goodness of Heaven for the possession of His peculiar people and the display of the most stupendous wonders. The theater was small, but admirably suited for the convenient observation of the human race — at the junction of the two great continents of Asia and Africa, and almost within sight of Europe. From this spot as from a common center the report of God’s wonderful works, the glad tidings of salvation through the obedience and sufferings of His own eternal Son, might be rapidly and easily wafted to every part of the globe.
_ _ he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel — Another rendering, which has received the sanction of eminent scholars, has been proposed as follows: “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam and set the bounds of every people, the children of Israel were few in numbers, when the Lord chose that people and made Jacob His inheritance” (compare Deuteronomy 30:5; Genesis 34:30; Psalms 105:9-12). |
Deuteronomy 32:8
Their inheritance — When God by his providence allotted the several parts of the world to several people, which was done Gen. 10:1-32, Genesis 11:1-9. When he separated — Divided them in their languages and habitations according to their families. He set the bounds — That is, he disposed of the several lands and limits of the people so as to reserve a sufficient place for the great numbers of the people of Israel. And therefore he so guided the hearts of several people, that the posterity of Canaan, which was accursed of God, and devoted to ruin, should be seated in that country which God intended for the children of Israel, that so when their iniquities were ripe, they might be rooted out, and the Israelites come in their stead. |
Deuteronomy 32:8
When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the (e) people according to the number of the children of Israel.
(e) When God by his providence divided the world, he lent for a time that portion to the Canaanites, which would later be an inheritance for all his people Israel. |
