Deut. 32:7      Deut. 32:9

Deuturonomy 32:8

When the Most High (Elion) gave the nations (the pagan peoples) their inheritance,
when he separated [Hebr. parad – the same word as in Gen. 10:5] the children of men (Adam),
then he set the boundaries of the peoples [Gen. 11:5–8]
according to the number of the sons of God.
[The last phrase is literally in the Hebrew Masoretic text benei Yisrael – the sons of Israel. A fragment from Qumran (4QDt, dated to 30-1 BC) has benei elohim – sons of God, and the Greek translation Septuagint (from about 200 BC) has angelon theou – angels of God. These variants are consistent with Ps. 82 and Dan. 10:13–21, which describe that there is also a spiritual dimension above the nations.]
