32:8 God is sovereign over and concerned with all nations and has allotted their land in accord with his own purposes (see Ps 74:17; Acts 17:26). • the Most High (Hebrew ‘Elyon): Abraham learned this name for God when he encountered Melchizedek (Gen 14:19). This ancient name describes God’s universal sovereignty. • assigned lands: One evidence of God’s sovereignty was his distribution of lands to the nations (see Gen 10).
