10. Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11. Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,"
12. When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.
13. And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
14. He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
15. "Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm."
16. And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
