Deuteronomy 33:6-17

6“1May ReubenH7205 liveH2421 and not dieH4191, NorH408 may his peopleH4962 be fewH4557.”

72And thisH2088 was regarding JudahH3063; so he saidH559: “HearH8085, LordH3068, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, And bringH935 him to his peopleH5971. With his handsH3027 he contendedH7378 for 3them, And may You be a helpH5828 againstH4480 his adversariesH6862.”

8Of LeviH3878 he saidH559, “Let Your 4ThummimH8550 and Your UrimH224 belong to Your 5godlyH2623 manH376, 6WhomH834 You testedH5254 at MassahH4532, With 7whom You contendedH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809;98Who saidH559 of his fatherH1 and his motherH517, ‘I did not considerH7200 them’; And he did not acknowledgeH5234 his brothersH251, NorH3808 did he regardH3045 his own sonsH1121, For 9they keptH8104 Your wordH565, And compliedH5341 withH5341 Your covenantH1285.1010They will teachH3384 Your ordinancesH4941 to JacobH3290, And Your LawH8451 to IsraelH3478. 11They shall putH7760 12incenseH6988 beforeH639 You, And 13wholeH3632 burntH3632 offeringsH3632 on Your altarH4196.11LordH3068, blessH1288 his strengthH2428, And acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027; SmashH4272 the 14hipsH4975 of those who riseH6965 upH6965 against him, And those who hateH8130 him, soH4480 thatH4480 they do notH4480 riseH6965 again.”

12Of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, “15May the belovedH3039 of the LordH3068 liveH7931 in securityH983 besideH5921 Him 16Who shieldsH2653 him allH3605 the dayH3117 long, 17And he livesH7931 betweenH996 His shouldersH3802.”

13Of JosephH3130 he saidH559, “18BlessedH1288 of the LordH3068 be his landH776, With the choiceH4022 thingsH4022 of heavenH8064, with the dewH2919, And from the deepH8415 waters lyingH7257 beneathH8478,14And with the choiceH4022 yieldH8393 of the sunH8121, And the choiceH4022 produceH1645 of the monthsH3391;15And with the 19bestH7218 thingsH7218 of 20the ancientH6924 mountainsH2022, With the choiceH4022 thingsH4022 of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389,16And with the choiceH4022 thingsH4022 of the earthH776 and its fullnessH4393, And the favorH7522 21of Him who dweltH7931 inH7931 the bushH5572. Let it comeH935 to the headH7218 of JosephH3130, And to the topH6936 ofH6936 theH6936 headH6936 of the one who was princeH5139 among his brothersH251.17As the firstbornH1060 of his oxH7794, majestyH1926 is his, And his hornsH7161 are the hornsH7161 of 22the wildH7214 oxH7214; With them he will 23goreH5055 the peoplesH5971 AllH3164 24atH3164 onceH3164, to the endsH657 of the earthH776. And thoseH1992 are the tenH7233 thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, And thoseH1992 are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519.”
