Sirach 24:8

8 “Then the creator of all things gave me a command; the one who created me pitched my tent and said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob, and let Israel receive your inheritance.'

Sirach 24:8 In-Context

6 In the waves of the sea and in every land, and among every people and nation, I led the way.
7 I sought a resting place among all of these. In whose allotted territory should I make my home?
8 “Then the creator of all things gave me a command; the one who created me pitched my tent and said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob, and let Israel receive your inheritance.'
9 Before the ages, from the beginning, he created me, and till eternity I will never fail.
10 I ministered before him in the holy tent, and so I was established in Zion.
