Deuteronomy 33:1-10 ▼

1 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,

2 and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, || And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, || And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[or a flaming fire]] for them.

3 Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, || And they sat down at Your foot, || [Each] lifts up Your words.

4 Moses has commanded a law for us, || A possession of the assembly of Jacob.

5 And He is King in Yeshurun, || In the heads of the people gathering together, || The tribes of Israel!

6 Let Reuben live, and not die, || And let his men be an [incalculable] number.

7 And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, || And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, || And You are a help from his adversaries.

8 And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, || Whom You have tried in Massah, || You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;

9 Who is saying of his father and his mother, || I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, || And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, || And they keep Your covenant.

10 They teach Your judgments to Jacob, || And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, || And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
