1 This is the blessing that Moses (drawn out) the man of God {Elohim} pronounced upon the Israelites (God prevails) before his death. 2 He said: “The LORD {YHWH} came from Sinai (thorny) and dawned upon us [upon them] from Seir (shaggy); He shone forth from Mount Paran (place of caverns) and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand. 3 Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet (they follow in Your steps); each receives Your words— 4 the law that Moses (drawn out) gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob (he grasps the heel). 5 So the LORD became King in Jeshurun (upright one) when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel (he wrestles with God) came together. 6 Let Reuben (behold a son) live and not die, nor (but let) his men be few. 7 And concerning Judah (praised) he said: “O LORD {YHWH}, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause, but may You be a help against his foes.” 8 Concerning Levi (joined to) he said: “Give Your Thummim to Levi (perfection) and Your Urim (lights) to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah (testing) and contested at the waters of Meribah (quarreling). 9 He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept \they kept/ Your word and maintained Your covenant. 10 He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob (he grasps the heel) and Your law to Israel (he wrestles with God); he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
