Deuteronomy 32:9 in every translation
Leer en españolThe same verse in each translation we publish, grouped by language and by the tradition that made it. Numbering is matched for each text (for example, Psalms in the Septuagint).
Why does my Bible say something different?
- Deuteronomy 32:8: “sons of Israel” or “sons of God”?
The Masoretic Hebrew says God fixed the borders of the peoples “according to the number of the sons of Israel.” A Hebrew manuscript from Qumran reads “sons of God,” and the Septuagint reads “angels of God.” Many scholars, Jewish and Christian, now think “sons of God” is the older reading. The Orthodox Church reads “angels of God.”
