Friends & Foes:
God gave land to other nations
Dt 2:5,9,19
5 don’t contend with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so
much as for the sole of the foot to tread on; because I have given Mount Seir
to Esau for a possession.
9 Yahweh said to me, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in
battle; for I will not give you of his land for a possession; because I have
given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession.”
19 and when you come near over against the children of Ammon, don’t bother
them, nor contend with them; for I will not give you of the land of the children
of Ammon for a possession; because I have given it to the children of Lot for
a possession.”
Dt 32:8
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the children of men,
he set the boundaries of the peoples
according to the number of the children of Israel. *
Jsh 24:4
I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau Mount Seir, to possess it.
Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Jr 27:5,6
5 I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface
of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to
whom it seems right to me.
6 Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king
of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him
to serve him.
