Deuteronomy 32:9

Moses' Song

⁸ When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel. ⁹ For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage. ¹⁰ He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.
