Psalms 105:44
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
BSB
ASV
And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
KJV
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
Hence rightly also it is said through the Psalmist: "He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labors of the peoples, that they might keep his statutes and observe his law." So therefore in this passage, Truth speaking to the inexperienced disciples promises that the kingdom of God will be seen on earth, so that it might be more faithfully hoped for by them in heaven. From that very kingdom which we now see exalted in the world, let us hope for the kingdom which we believe is to be received in heaven.
