According to what did God set the bounds of the nations in Deuteronomy 32:8?
Deuteronomy 32:8 states that when the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance and separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. So the borders and population of all nations were determined in relation to Israel.
Les teaches that this verse is spoken by God Himself, the sovereign, almighty God, though Moses wrote it. The Most High divided to all the nations of the world their inheritance, designating where their borders would be, how large their population would be, and how they would be blessed. He separated the sons of Adam and set the bounds of all these nations according to the number of the children of Israel. Les notes that this shows you cannot make too much of the nation of Israel.
When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
