Deuteronomy 33:1-10 ▼

1 Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.

2 He said, “The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone from Mount Paran, And He came from the midst of myriads of holy ones; At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.

3 “Indeed, He loves the people; All Your holy ones are in Your hand, And they followed in Your steps; Everyone takes of Your words.

4 “Moses issued to us the Law, A possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 “And He was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people gathered, The tribes of Israel together.

6 “May Reuben live and not die, Nor may his people be few.”

7 And this was regarding Judah; so he said: “Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people. With his hands he contended for them, And may You be a help against his adversaries.”

8 Of Levi he said, “Let Your Thummim and Your Urim belong to Your godly man, Whom You tested at Massah, With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah;

9 Who said of his father and his mother, ‘I did not consider them’; And he did not acknowledge his brothers, Nor did he regard his own sons, For they kept Your word, And complied with Your covenant.

10 “They will teach Your ordinances to Jacob, And Your Law to Israel. They shall put incense before You, And whole burnt offerings on Your altar.
