# Chapter 33
|
|
1. Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
|
|
2. And he said:
|
|
"The Lord came from Sinai,
|
|
And dawned on them from Seir;
|
|
He shone forth from Mount Paran,
|
|
And He came with ten thousands of saints;
|
|
From His right hand
|
|
Came a fiery law for them.
|
|
|
|
3. Yes, He loves the people;
|
|
All His saints are in Your hand;
|
|
They sit down at Your feet;
|
|
Everyone receives Your words.
|
|
|
|
4. Moses commanded a law for us,
|
|
A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.
|
|
|
|
5. And He was King in Jeshurun,
|
|
When the leaders of the people were gathered,
|
|
All the tribes of Israel together.
|
|
|
|
6. "Let Reuben live, and not die,
|
|
Nor let his men be few."
|
|
|
|
7. And this he said of Judah:
|
|
"Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
|
|
And bring him to his people;
|
|
Let his hands be sufficient for him,
|
|
And may You be a help against his enemies."
|
|
|
|
8. And of Levi he said:
|
|
"Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one,
|
|
Whom You tested at Massah,
|
|
And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,
|
|
|
|
9. Who says of his father and mother,
|
|
'I have not seen them';
|
|
Nor did he acknowledge his brothers,
|
|
Or know his own children;
|
|
For they have observed Your word
|
|
And kept Your covenant.
|
|
|
|
10. They shall teach Jacob Your judgments,
|
|
And Israel Your law.
|
|
They shall put incense before You,
|
|
And a whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.
|
|
|
|
11. Bless his substance, Lord,
|
|
And accept the work of his hands;
|
|
Strike the loins of those who rise against him,
|
|
And of those who hate him, that they rise not again."
|
|
|
|
12. Of Benjamin he said:
|
|
"The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him,
|
|
Who shelters him all the day long;
|
|
And he shall dwell between His shoulders."
|
|
|
|
13. And of Joseph he said:
|
|
"Blessed of the Lord is his land,
|
|
With the precious things of heaven, with the dew,
|
|
And the deep lying beneath,
|
|
|
|
14. With the precious fruits of the sun,
|
|
With the precious produce of the months,
|
|
|
|
15. With the best things of the ancient mountains,
|
|
With the precious things of the everlasting hills,
|
|
|
|
16. With the precious things of the earth and its fullness,
|
|
And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush.
|
|
Let the blessing come 'on the head of Joseph,
|
|
And on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.'
|
|
|
|
17. His glory is like a firstborn bull,
|
|
And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;
|
|
Together with them
|
|
He shall push the peoples
|
|
To the ends of the earth;
|
|
They are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
|
|
And they are the thousands of Manasseh."
|
|
|
|
18. And of Zebulun he said:
|
|
"Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out,
|
|
And Issachar in your tents!
|
|
|
|
19. They shall call the peoples to the mountain;
|
|
There they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness;
|
|
For they shall partake of the abundance of the seas
|
|
And of treasures hidden in the sand."
|
|
|
|
20. And of Gad he said:
|
|
"Blessed is he who enlarges Gad;
|
|
He dwells as a lion,
|
|
And tears the arm and the crown of his head.
|
|
|
|
21. He provided the first part for himself,
|
|
Because a lawgiver's portion was reserved there.
|
|
He came with the heads of the people;
|
|
He administered the justice of the Lord,
|
|
And His judgments with Israel."
|
|
|
|
22. And of Dan he said:
|
|
"Dan is a lion's whelp;
|
|
He shall leap from Bashan."
|
|
|
|
23. And of Naphtali he said:
|
|
"O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,
|
|
And full of the blessing of the Lord,
|
|
Possess the west and the south."
|
|
|
|
24. And of Asher he said:
|
|
"Asher is most blessed of sons;
|
|
Let him be favored by his brothers,
|
|
And let him dip his foot in oil.
|
|
|
|
25. Your sandals shall be iron and bronze;
|
|
As your days, so shall your strength be.
|
|
|
|
26. "There is no one like the God of Jeshurun,
|
|
Who rides the heavens to help you,
|
|
And in His excellency on the clouds.
|
|
|
|
27. The eternal God is your refuge,
|
|
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
|
|
He will thrust out the enemy from before you,
|
|
And will say, 'Destroy!'
|
|
|
|
28. Then Israel shall dwell in safety,
|
|
The fountain of Jacob alone,
|
|
In a land of grain and new wine;
|
|
His heavens shall also drop dew.
|
|
|
|
29. Happy are you, O Israel!
|
|
Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord,
|
|
The shield of your help
|
|
And the sword of your majesty!
|
|
Your enemies shall submit to you,
|
|
And you shall tread down their high places."
