Ben Sira 24:8

8 "Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and the one who created me assigned a place for my tent. And he said, `Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.'

Ben Sira 24:8 In-Context

6 In the waves of the sea, in the whole earth, and in every people and nation I have gotten a possession.

7 Among all these I sought a resting place; I sought in whose territory I might lodge.

8 "Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and the one who created me assigned a place for my tent. And he said, `Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.'

9 From eternity, in the beginning, he created me, and for eternity I shall not cease to exist.

10 In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him, and so I was established in Zion.
