Karl,
The usual translation is "when the Most High gave nations inheritances, when He divided sons of mankind..."
What if it says, "when the highest of nations (Israel) gave inheritances, when it (he) divided sons of a man, he (it) will set up (will be caused to set up) (hophal?) borders of peoples (the tribes) for the number of the sons of Israel, because the L-rd divided His (his) people, Jacob, the portion of His inheritance"?
G-d said Israel would be the highest of nations in Deut. 26:19 and 28:1.
