Or HaChaim

בהנחל עליון גוים, 'When the Supreme One gave nations their inheritance, etc.' This is a reference to the time when G'd assigned 'guardian angels' for the various Gentile nations to represent them at the celestial court.⁠a This is an allusion to the fact that G'd considered these nations as inferior so that He did not want to relate to them directly but only by means of an intermediary.
