“For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:”
King James Version (KJV)
8:49 Their course - Heb. their right, against their invaders andoppressors. For they had forfeited all their rights to God only, but not totheir enemies; whom tho' God used as scourges to chastise his peoples sins,yet they had no pretence of right to their land.
