Deuteronomy 33:6-17

6“1May Reuben live and not die, Nor his men be few.”

72And this regarding Judah; so he said, “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people. With his hands he contended for 3them, And may You be a help against his adversaries.”

8Of Levi he said, “Let Your 4Thummim and Your Urim belong to 5Your 6godly man, 7Whom You proved at Massah, With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah;98Who 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 9they observed Your word, And kept Your covenant.1010They shall teach Your ordinances to Jacob, And Your law to Israel. 11They shall put incense 12before You, And 13whole burnt offerings on Your altar.11O Lord, bless his substance, And accept the work of his hands; Shatter the loins of those who rise up against him, And those who hate him, so that they will not rise again.”

12Of Benjamin he said, “14May the beloved of the Lord dwell in security by Him, 15Who shields him all the day, 16And he dwells between His shoulders.”

13Of Joseph he said, “17Blessed of the Lord be his land, With the choice things of heaven, with the dew, And from the deep lying beneath,14And with the choice yield of the sun, And with the choice produce of the months.15And with the 18best things of 19the ancient mountains, And with the choice things of the everlasting hills,16And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor 20of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come to the head of Joseph, And to the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.17As the firstborn of his ox, majesty is his, And his horns are the horns of 21the wild ox; With them he will 22push the peoples, All 23at once, to the ends of the earth. And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim, And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”
