Psalms 135:12
He gave their land as an inheritance, as a heritage to His people Israel.
BSB
ASV
And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.
KJV
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people.
And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his people. Jehovah is Lord Paramount, and permits men to hold their lands upon lease, terminable at his pleasure. The nations of Canaan had become loathsome with abominable vices, and they were condemned by the great Judge of all the earth to be cut off from the face of the country which they defiled. The twelve tribes were charged to act as their executioners, and as their fee they were to receive Canaan as a possession.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
