Deuteronomy 33:8-11
8Concerning Levi he said:
“Give Your Thummim to Leviand Your Urim to Your godly one,1whom You tested at Massah2and contested at the waters of Meribah.39He said of his father and mother,‘I do not consider them.’He disregarded his brothersand did not know his own sons,for he kept4 Your wordand maintained Your covenant.10He will teach Your ordinances to Jacoband Your law to Israel;he will set incense before Youand whole burnt offerings on Your altar.11Bless his substance, O LORD,and accept the work of his hands.Smash the loins of those who rise against him,and of his foes so they can rise no more.”
