Bible in Basic English
"When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;"
— 1 Chronicles 16:19, Bible in Basic English
The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;
When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people;
He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
