1 Kings 8:53

For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.

KJV

Tu enim separasti eos tibi in hæreditatem de universis populis terræ, sicut locutus es per Moysen servum tuum quando eduxisti patres nostros de Ægypto, Domine Deus.

Vulgate

καὶ σὺ διέστειλας σαυτῷ εἰς κληρονομίαν ἐκ πάντων τῶν λαῶν τῆς γῆς, καθὼς ἐλάλησας ἐν χειρὶ δούλου σου Μωυσῆ, ἐν τῷ ἐξαγαγεῖν σε τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, κύριε Κύριε. [1] Τότε ἐλάλησεν Σαλωμὼν ὑπὲρ τοῦ οἴκου ὡς συνετέλεσεν τοῦ οἰκοδομῆσαι αὐτόν Ἥλιον ἐγνώρισεν ἐν οὐρανῷ Κύριος· εἶπεν τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐκ γνόφου. Οἰκοδόμησον οἶκόν μου, οἶκον ἐκπρεπῆ σαυτῷ, τοῦ κατοικεῖν ἐπὶ καινότητος. οὐκ ἰδοὺ αὕτη γέγραπται ἐν βιβλίῳ τῆς ᾠδῆς;

LXX

For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.
