"Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon; behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Ethiopia—'This one was born there,' they say.  And of Zion it shall be said, 'This one and that one were born in her'; for the Most High himself will establish her.  The Lord records as he registers the peoples, 'This one was born there.'"
