19. They will summon peoples to the mountain,there they will sacrifice proper sacrifices;for they will enjoy the abundance of the seas,and the hidden treasures of the shores.

21. He has selected the best part for himself,for the portion of the ruler is set aside there;he came with the leaders of the people,he obeyed the righteous laws of the Lordand his ordinances with Israel.
