בְּהַנְחֵ֤ל עֶלְיוֹן֙ גּוֹיִ֔ם בְּהַפְרִיד֖וֹ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם יַצֵּב֙ גְּבֻלֹ֣ת עַמִּ֔ים לְמִסְפַּ֖ר בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
When the Most High gave nations their homes
And set the divisions of humanity,
[God] fixed the boundaries of peoples
In relation to Israel’s numbers.
ὅτε διεμέριζεν ὁ ὕψιστος ἔθνη, ὡς διέσπειρεν υἱοὺς Ἀδάμ, ἔστησεν ὅρια ἐθνῶν κατὰ ἀριθμὸν ἀγγέλων θεοῦ
Deuteronomy 32:8 (Septuagint)
When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
בְּאַחֲסָנָא עִלָּאָה עַמְמַיָּא בְּפָרָשׁוּתֵיהּ בְּנֵי אֲנָשָׁא קַיִּים תְּחוּמֵי עַמְמַיָּא לְמִנְיַן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל:
When the Exalted One bequeathed nations, when He set apart the sons of man; He established the boundaries of peoples according to the number of Bnei Yisroel.
בְּאַחֲסָנוּת עִילַיָא אוּמַיָא בְּפָרָשׁוּתֵיהּ לִשְׁנֵי בְּנֵי אֵינָשָׁא קְבַע תְּחוּמִין לְאוּמַיָא לְמִנְיָן שִׁבְטַיָא דִבְנֵי יִשְרָאֵל:
When the Most High divided the nations by lot, and distinguished the languages of the children of men, He appointed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the tribes of the Beni Israel.
בְּאַחְסָנוּת עִלָאָה עַלְמָא לְעַמְמַיָא דִי נְפָקוּ מִבְּנוֹי דְנׂחַ בְּאַפְרָשׁוּתֵיהּ מִכְתָּבִין וְלִישְׁנִין לִבְנֵי נְשָׁא בְּדָרָא דְפַלְגוּתָא בֵּי הוּא זִמְנָא רָמָא פִיצְתָא עִם שׁוּבְעִין מַלְאָכַיָא רַבְרְבֵי עַמְמִין דְאִתְגְלֵי עִמְהוֹן לְמֶחֱמֵי קַרְתָּא וּבֵי הוּא זִמְנָא אָקִים תְּחוּמֵי אוּמַיָא כִּסְכוּם מִנְיַין שׁוּבְעִין נַפְשָׁתָא דְיִשְרָאֵל דִנְחָתוּ לְמִצְרַיִם
When the Most High made allotment of the world unto the nations which proceeded from the sons of Noach, in the separation of the writings and languages of the children of men at the time of the division, He cast the lot among the seventy angels, the princes of the nations with whom is the revelation to oversee the city, even at that time He established the limits of the nations according to the sum of the number of the seventy souls of Israel who went down into Mizraim.
