Deuteronomy 33:6-17

6Let ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and not dieH4191;Nor let his men beH1961 few.

7And this isthe blessingof JudahH3063: and he saidH559,

HearH8085, Jehovah, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063,And bringH935 him in unto his peopleH5971.With his handsH3027 he contended for himself;And thou shalt beH1961 a helpH5828 against his adversaries.

8And of LeviH3878 he saidH559,

Thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 are with thy godly oneH376,Whom thou didst prove at MassahH4532,With whom thou didst strive at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;9Who saidH559 of his fatherH1, and of his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him;Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,Nor knewH3045 he his own children:For they have observed thy word,And keepH8104 thy covenantH1285.10They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thine ordinancesH4941,And IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451:They shall putH7760 incense before thee,And wholeH3632 burnt-offering upon thine altarH4196.11BlessH1288, Jehovah, his substance,And acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027:Smite through the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 up against him,And of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 not again.

12Of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559,

The belovedH3039 of Jehovah shall dwellH7931 in safety by him;He covereth him all the dayH3117 long,And he dwelleth between his shouldersH3802.

13And of JosephH3130 he saidH559,

BlessedH1288 of Jehovah be his landH776,For the precious things of heavenH8064, for the dewH2919,And for the deepH8415 that coucheth beneath,14And for the precious things of the fruits of the sunH8121,And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,15And for the chiefH7218 things of the ancient mountainsH2042,And for the precious things of the everlasting hillsH1389,16And for the precious things of the earthH776 and the fulness thereof,And the good will of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572.Let the blessing comeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130,And upon the crown of the headH7218 of him that was separate from his brethren.17The firstling of his herd, majestyH1926 is his;And his hornsH7161 are the hornsH7161 of the wild-ox:With them he shall push the peoplesH5971 all of them, eventhe endsH657 of the earthH776:And they are the tenH7233 thousandsH505 of EphraimH669,And they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519.
