When He bseparated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the1 children of Israel.
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He bkept him as the apple of His eye.
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock;
aWith fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the bblood of the grapes.
aYou grew fat, you grew thick,
You are obese!
Then he bforsook God who cmade him,
And scornfully esteemed the dRock of his salvation.
