Context of Deuteronomy 33:4

2“The Lord came from Mount Sinai and dawned upon us from Mount Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran and came from Meribah-kadesh with flaming fire at his right hand. 3Indeed, he loves his people; all his holy ones are in his hands. They follow in his steps and accept his teaching. Moses gave us the Lord’s instruction, the special possession of the people of Israel. 5The Lord became king in Israel— when the leaders of the people assembled, when the tribes of Israel gathered as one.” 6Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben: “Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number.”
