11. “To you I give the land of Canaan,your own allotted inheritance.”
12. When they were few in number,a handful, and strangers there,
13. Wandering from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another people,
14. He let no one oppress them;for their sake he rebuked kings:
15. “Do not touch my anointed ones,to my prophets do no harm.”
16. Then he called down a famine on the land,destroyed the grain that sustained them.
17. He had sent a man ahead of them,Joseph, sold as a slave.
