Deuteronomy 33:6-24
6Let ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and not dieH4191; And let his men beH1961 few.
7And this of JudahH3063; and he saidH559, HearH8085, Jehovah, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, And bringH935 him unto his peopleH5971; May his handsH3027 strive for them; And beH1961 thou a helpH5828 to him against his oppressors.
8And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 are for thy 1godly oneH376, Whom thou didst prove at MassahH4532, With whom thou didst strive at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;
9Who saidH559 to his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I seeH7200 him not, And he acknowledged not his brethren, And knewH3045 not his own children; For they have observed thy word, And keptH8104 thy covenantH1285.
10They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thine ordinancesH4941, And IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: They shall putH7760 incense before thy nostrilsH639, And wholeH3632 burnt-offering upon thine altarH4196.
11BlessH1288, Jehovah, his substance! And let the workH6467 of his handsH3027 please thee; Crush the loinsH4975 of his adversaries, And of them that hateH8130 him, that they may never riseH6965 again!
12Of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, The belovedH3039 of Jehovah, — he shall dwellH7931 in safety by him; He will cover him all the dayH3117 long, And dwellH7931 between his shouldersH3802.
13And of JosephH3130 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 of Jehovah be his landH776! By the precious things of the heavensH8064, By the dewH2919, and by the deepH8415 that lieth beneath,
14And by the precious fruits of the sunH8121, And by the precious things put forth by the monthsH3391,
15And by the best things of the ancient mountainsH2042, And by the precious things of the everlasting hillsH1389,
16And by the precious things of the earthH776 and the fulness thereof. And let the good will of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572 ComeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130, Upon the topH7218 of the headH7218 of him that was separated from his brethren.
17His majestyH1926 is as the firstling of his oxH7794; And his hornsH7161 are as the hornsH7161 of a buffalo. With them shall he push the peoplesH5971 TogetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776. These are the myriads of EphraimH669, And these are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519.
18And of ZebulunH2074 he saidH559, RejoiceH8055, ZebulunH2074, in thy goingH3318 out; And thou, IssacharH3485, in thy tentsH168!
19They shall invite [the] peoplesH5971 to the mountainH2022; There they shall offerH2076 sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664; For they will suckH3243 the abundance of the seasH3220, And the hiddenH2934 treasures of the sandH2344.
20And of GadH1410 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be he that enlargeth GadH1410! As a lion doth he dwellH7931, and teareth the armH2220, evenH637 the top of the head.
21And he provided the firstH7225 part for himself, For there was reserved the portionH2513 of the lawgiver; And he cameH857 with the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971; The justiceH4941 of Jehovah and his judgmentsH4941 Hath he executed with IsraelH3478.
22And of DanH1835 he saidH559, DanH1835 is a young lionH738; He shall spring forth from BashanH1316.
23And of NaphtaliH5321 he saidH559, NaphtaliH5321, satisfied with favour, And fullH4392 of the blessingH1293 of Jehovah, PossessH3423 thou the westH3220 and the southH1864.
24And of AsherH836 he saidH559, AsherH836 shall beH1961 blessedH1288 with sonsH1121; Let him beH1961 acceptableH7521 to his brethren, And let him dipH2881 his footH7272 in oilH8081.
