10 and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11 saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.

20 The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.

That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
