When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,

At first there weren’t very many of God’s people. There were only a few, and they were strangers in the land.

When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,

He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and resident aliens in Canaan,

When they were only a few people in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

When they were few in number, Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

When they were few in number, very few indeed, and temporary residents in Canaan,

When they were[ but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

When they were few in number, just a very few, and resident aliens within it,

when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

雅各謂西面利未、曰、爾曹累我、令我遺臭於迦南比哩洗地、且我寡彼眾、必聚而攻我、殲吾家室。

爾較凡民、其數維寡、耶和華愛爾擇爾、非為爾曹眾多也、

為旅於上帝許賜之地、猶在異邦、以撒雅各亦蒙上帝所許、與亞伯拉罕各居於幕、

我於爾中為賓旅、請以塚地與我、使死者得葬。○

爾在上帝耶和華前必告曰、吾祖亞蘭人、遊牧無定、攜人無多、以往埃及於彼昌大、繁衍其族。

當此之時、上帝未嘗以尺土賜之、然以此地許彼為業、爰及苗裔、時、亞伯拉罕尚未有子也、

人子、以色列地荒墟、居民常言亞伯拉罕一人、能得斯土、我儕既眾、豈不能據而有之、爾當告之云、主耶和華曰、肉常有血、爾曹食之、崇敬偶像、殘害人命、豈能據有斯土、爾恃鋒刃、作可惡之事、玷人妻室、詎能得土、爾先知當告之云、主耶和華曰、我指己而誓、維彼眾民、居於邱墟、必亡於刃、處於郊野、必噬於獸、藏於城垣巖穴、必斃於疫癘、以色列族恆誇其能、我必使彼、不能矜詡、令其山岡原隰、俱變荒坵、人蹤罕至、彼作不端、我所痛疾、必使其地、凄涼寂寞、俾知我乃耶和華、人子、爾民在垣墉之側、門閾之間、彼此相語、指爾而言曰、來聽耶和華所傳之諭、彼既至、坐於爾前、若我民然、聽爾言而不行、口所言則愛爾不置、其心貪婪、彼聞爾言、若聞善謳者、發其清歌善樂者、操其妙音、彼聽爾言、而弗遵行、是事既成、我言已應、則可知先知已至民間。

爾之祖父亞伯拉罕、祖母撒拉、爾祖被我遴選之時、孑然一身、後錫純嘏、寖昌寖熾。

是以一人血氣雖衰、生育蕃衍、如眾星之在天、猶海沙之無量、

爾所旅者、即迦南一境、我將以之賜爾及爾苗裔、永為恆產、我亦為其上帝。○
