Deuteronomy 33:6-17

6Let ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and not dieH4191; and let not his menH4962 be fewH4557.

7And this is the blessing of JudahH3063: and he saidH559, HearH8085, YhwhH3068, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, and bringH935 him unto his peopleH5971: let his handsH3027 be sufficientH7227 for him; and be thou an helpH5828 to him from his enemiesH6862.

8And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Let thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 be with thy holyH2623 oneH376, whom thou didst proveH5254 at MassahH4532, and with whom thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809; 9Who saidH559 unto his fatherH1 and to his motherH517, I have not seenH7200 him; neither did he acknowledgeH5234 his brethrenH251, nor knewH3045 his own childrenH1121: for they have observedH8104 thy wordH565, and keptH5341 thy covenantH1285. 10They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, and IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: they shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH639 thee, and whole burnt sacrificeH3632 upon thine altarH4196.123 11BlessH1288, YhwhH3068, his substanceH2428, and acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027: smiteH4272 through the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 against him, and of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 notH4480 againH6965.

12And of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, The belovedH3039 of YhwhH3068 shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 by him; and the Lord shall coverH2653 him all the dayH3117 long, and he shall dwellH7931 between his shouldersH3802.

13And of JosephH3130 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 of YhwhH3068 be his landH776, for the precious thingsH4022 of heavenH8064, for the dewH2919, and for the deepH8415 that coucheth beneathH7257, 14And for the preciousH4022 fruitsH8393 brought forth by the sunH8121, and for the precious thingsH4022 put forthH1645 by the moonH3391,45 15And for the chief thingsH7218 of the ancientH6924 mountainsH2042, and for the precious thingsH4022 of the lastingH5769 hillsH1389, 16And for the precious thingsH4022 of the earthH776 and fulnessH4393 thereof, and for the good willH7522 of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572: let the blessing comeH935 upon the headH7218 of JosephH3130, and upon the top of the headH6936 of him that was separatedH5139 from his brethrenH251. 17His gloryH1926 is like the firstlingH1060 of his bullockH7794, and his hornsH7161 are like the hornsH7161 of unicornsH7214: with them he shall pushH5055 the peopleH5971 togetherH3162 to the endsH657 of the earthH776: and they are the ten thousandsH7233 of EphraimH669, and they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519.6
