“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 cum essent numero breves paucissimos et incolas eius
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

36 et percussit omne primogenitum in terra eorum primitias omnis laboris eorum
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37 et eduxit eos in argento et auro et non erat in tribubus eorum infirmus
