Heathen » Their land given to israel
He also drove out the nations before the sons of Israel
And allotted their land as an inheritance, measured out and partitioned;
And He had the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents [the tents of those who had been dispossessed].
He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan],
So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples’ labor,
And gave their land as a heritage, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever; Even a heritage to Israel His servant, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever;
Sing, O barren one, you who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who did not travail with child! For the [spiritual] children of the desolate one will be more than the children of the married wife, says the Lord. Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be stretched out; spare not; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes, For you will spread abroad to the right hand and to the left; and your offspring will possess the nations and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
