17 He allots their portions;

his hand distributes them by measure.

They will possess it forever

and dwell there from generation to generation.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, And his hand hath divided it unto them by line: They shall possess it for ever, From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

17 He has surveyed and divided the land

and deeded it over to those creatures.

They will possess it forever,

from generation to generation.

17 He has cast the lot for them,

And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line.

They shall possess it forever;

From generation to generation they shall dwell in it.”

17 God has divided the land among them,

and he has given them each their portion.

So they will own that land forever

and will live there year after year.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

17 For he himself hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them with the line: they shall possess it for ever; from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.

17 He is the one who throws dice for them, 

and his hand divides up ⸤the land⸥ for them with a measuring line. 

They will possess it permanently 

and live there for generations. 

17 He has ordained a lot for them;

His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.

They will possess it forever;

they will dwell in it from generation to generation.

17 He has cast the lot for them,

his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;

they shall possess it forever,

from generation to generation they shall live in it.

17 And he is the one that has cast the lot for them,

and his hand has apportioned it to them with the measuring line;

they shall take possession of it forever,

they shall live in it from generation to generation.

17 The Lord will decide what part of the land goes to each animal.

Then he will give each one its share.

It will belong to them forever.

And they will live there for all time to come.

17 He has cast the lot for them,

And His hand has divided it to them by line.

They shall possess it forever;

From generation to generation they will dwell in it.
