זְכֹר יְמוֹת עוֹלָם בִּינוּ שְׁנוֹת דֹּר־וָדֹר שְׁאַל אָבִיךָ וְיַגֵּדְךָ זְקֵנֶיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ לָךְ׃
Remember the days of old, Consider the years of ages past; Ask your parent, who will inform you, Your elders, who will tell you:
Targum Onkelos
אִדְּכַר יוֹמִין דְּמִן עָלְמָא אִסְתַּכַּל בִּשְׁנֵי דָּר וְדָר שְׁאַל אֲבוּךְ וִיחַוֵּי לָךְ סָבָךְ וְיֵימְרוּן לָךְ׃
Remember world history, study the generational epochs. Ask your father and he will relate to you, your elders and they will tell you.

When the Most High gave nations their homes And set the divisions of humankind, The boundaries of peoples were fixed In relation to Israel’s numbers.

בְּאַחְסָנָא עִלָּאָה עַמְמַיָּא בְּפָרָשׁוּתֵיהּ בְּנֵי אֲנָשָׁא קַיֵּים תְּחוּמֵי עַמְמַיָּא לְמִנְיַן בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃

אֲרֵי חוּלָקָא דַּייָ עַמֵּיהּ יַעֲקֹב עֲדַב אַחְסָנְתֵיהּ׃
Because [of] Adonoy’s portion, His people, Yaakov the cable of His heritage.

יִמְצָאֵהוּ בְּאֶרֶץ מִדְבָּר וּבְתֹהוּ יְלֵל יְשִׁמֹן יְסֹבְבֶנְהוּ יְבוֹנְנֵהוּ יִצְּרֶנְהוּ כְּאִישׁוֹן עֵינוֹ׃
[God] found them in a desert region, In an empty howling waste— Then engirded them, watched over them, Guarded them as the pupil of one’s eye.
Targum Onkelos
סוֹפֵיק צֻרְכֵּיהוֹן בַּאֲרַע מַדְבְּרָא וּבֵית צַהְוָנָא אֲתַר דְּלֵית מַיָּא אַשְׁרִינוּן סְחוֹר סְחוֹר לִשְׁכִינְתֵיהּ אַלֵּיפִנּוּן פִּתְגָמֵי אוֹרָיְתֵיהּ נְטַרִנּוּן כְּבָבַת עֵינְהוֹן׃
He found them [satisfied their needs] in a wilderness country, in arid, shrieking desolation [a place where there was no water]. He encircled [placed them] them around [His Shechinah], He granted them understanding [He taught them Torah], He sheltered them like the pupil of His eye [their eyes].
- Deuteronomy 32:11
כְּנֶשֶׁר יָעִיר קִנּוֹ עַל־גּוֹזָלָיו יְרַחֵף יִפְרֹשׂ כְּנָפָיו יִקָּחֵהוּ יִשָּׂאֵהוּ עַל־אֶבְרָתוֹ׃
Like an eagle who rouses its nestlings, Gliding down to its young, So did [God] spread wings and take them, Bear them along on pinions;
Targum Onkelos
כְּנִשְׁרָא דִּמְחִישׁ לְקִנֵּיהּ עַל בְּנוֹהִי מִתְחָפַף פָּרֵיס גַּדְפוֹהִי מְקַבֵּילְהוֹן מְנַטֵּילְהוֹן עַל תְּקוֹף אֶבְרוֹהִי׃
Like an eagle who rouses [protects] his nest, fluttering over his young, He extends His wings, grasps them, He bears them on His [strong] wing.

יְהֹוָה בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ וְאֵין עִמּוֹ אֵל נֵכָר׃
The ETERNAL alone did guide them, No alien deity alongside.
Targum Onkelos
יְיָ בִּלְחוֹדֵיהוֹן עֲתִיד לְאַשְׁרָיוּתְהוֹן בְּעָלְמָא דְּהוּא עֲתִיד לְחַדָּתָא וְלָא יִתְקַיַּים קֳדָמוֹהִי פוּלְחַן טָעֲוָן׃
Adonoy conducted them alone, without [opposition by] alien gods. [Hashem alone will, in the future, place them in the world that He will renew and no idol worship will exist before Him.]
