I will bring to remembrance - Rahab and Babylon to [those who] know me there! Philistia and Tyre with Cush this one it was born there.
5 It will be said concerning Jerusalem, “Everyone was born there,” and the Most High will make it secure.
And of Zion - it will be said a person and a person he was born in it and he he will establish it [the] Most High.
