the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
10 Et statuit illud Iacob in præceptum: et Israel in testamentum æternum:
and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11 Dicens: Tibi dabo Terram Chanaan, funiculum hereditatis vestræ.
saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"
12 Cum essent numero brevi, paucissimi et incolæ eius:
when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

19 donec veniret verbum eius. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum:
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD's word proved him true.
20 misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.
The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21 Constituit eum dominum domus suæ: et principem omnis possessionis suæ:
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;
22 Ut erudiret principes eius sicut semetipsum: et senes eius prudentiam doceret.

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41 Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ: abierunt in sicco flumina;
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42 Quoniam memor fuit verbi sancti sui, quod habuit ad Abraham puerum suum.
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
