Deuteronomy 33
Revised Version 1895
1And this is the blessingH1293, wherewith MosesH4872 the manH376 of GodH430 blessedH1288 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 his deathH4194. 2And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 cameH935 from SinaiH5514, And roseH2224 from SeirH8165 unto them; He shined forthH3313 from mountH2022 ParanH6290, And he cameH935 from the tenH7233 thousandsH7233 of holyH6944 onesH6944: At his rightH3225 handH3225 was a fiery law unto them. 3Yea, he loveth the peoplesH5971; AllH3605 his saintsH6918 are in thy handH3027: And they sat downH3027 at thy feetH7272; EveryH3605 one shall receiveH5375 of thy wordsH1703. 4MosesH4872 commandedH6680 us a lawH8451, An inheritance for the assemblyH6952 of JacobH3290. 5And he was kingH4428 in JeshurunH3484, When the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971 were gatheredH622, AllH3162 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 togetherH3162. 6LetH408 ReubenH7205 liveH2421, and notH408 dieH4191; Yet letH408 his menH4962 be fewH4557. 7And this is the blessing of JudahH3063: and he saidH559, HearH8085, LORDH3068, the voiceH6963 of JudahH3063, And bringH935 him in unto his peopleH5971: With his handsH3027 he contended for himselfH3027; And thou shalt be an helpH5828 againstH413 his adversaries. 8And of LeviH3878 he saidH559, Thy ThummimH8550 and thy UrimH224 are with thy godlyH2623 one, WhomH834 thou didst prove at MassahH4532, With whomH834 thou didst striveH7378 at the watersH4325 of MeribahH4809; 9Who saidH559 of his fatherH1, and of his motherH517, I have notH3808 seenH7200 him; NeitherH3808 didH3808 he acknowledgeH3045 his brethrenH251, NorH3808 knewH3045 he his own childrenH1121: For they have observedH7200 thy wordH559, And keepH8104 thy covenantH1285. 10They shall teachH3384 JacobH3290 thy judgmentsH4941, And IsraelH3478 thy lawH8451: They shall putH7760 incenseH6988 beforeH5921 thee, And wholeH3632 burntH3632 offering uponH5921 thine altarH4196. 11BlessH1288, LORDH3068, his substanceH2428, And acceptH7521 the workH6467 of his handsH3027: Smite throughH3027 the loinsH4975 of them that riseH6965 upH6965 againstH4480 him, And of them that hateH8130 him, that they riseH6965 not againH6965. 12Of BenjaminH1144 he saidH559, The belovedH3039 of the LORDH3068 shall dwellH7931 in safetyH983 by him; He covereth him allH3605 the dayH3117 longH3117, And he dwelleth betweenH996 his shouldersH3802. 13And of JosephH3130 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 of the LORDH3068 be his landH776; For the precious things of heavenH8064, for the dewH2919, And for the deepH8415 that coucheth beneathH8478, 14And for the precious things of the fruits of the sunH8121, And for the precious things of the growth of the moons, 15And for the chiefH7218 things of the ancientH5769 mountainsH2042, And for the precious things of the everlastingH5769 hillsH1389, 16And for the precious things of the earthH776 and the fulness thereof, And the goodH7522 will of him that dweltH7931 in the bushH5572: Let the blessing comeH935 uponH935 the headH7218 of JosephH3130, And uponH935 the crownH6936 of the headH7218 of him that was separate from his brethrenH251. 17The firstling of his bullock, majestyH1926 is his; And his hornsH7161 are the hornsH7161 of the wild-ox: With them he shall pushH5055 the peoplesH5971 allH3162 of them, evenH776 the endsH657 of the earthH776: And they are the tenH7233 thousandsH505 of EphraimH669, And they are the thousandsH505 of ManassehH4519. 18And of ZebulunH2074 he saidH559, RejoiceH8055, ZebulunH2074, in thy goingH3318 outH3318; And, IssacharH3485, in thy tentsH168. 19They shall callH7121 the peoplesH5971 unto the mountainH2022; There shall they offerH2076 sacrificesH2077 of righteousnessH6664: For they shall suckH3243 the abundanceH8228 of the seasH3220, And the hiddenH2934 treasures of the sandH2344. 20And of GadH1410 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be he that enlargeth GadH1410: He dwelleth as a lionessH3833, And teareth the armH2220, yea, the crownH6936 of the headH6936. 21And he providedH7200 the firstH7225 part for himself, For there was the lawgiver’s portionH2513 reservedH5603; And he cameH857 with the headsH7218 of the peopleH5971, He executed the justiceH4941 of the LORDH3068, And his judgmentsH4941 with IsraelH3478. 22And of DanH1835 he saidH559, DanH1835 is a lion’sH738 whelpH1482, That leapeth forth from BashanH1316. 23And of NaphtaliH5321 he saidH559, O NaphtaliH5321, satisfiedH7649 with favour, And fullH4392 with the blessingH1293 of the LORDH3068: PossessH3423 thou the westH3220 and the southH1864. 24And of AsherH836 he saidH559, BlessedH1288 be AsherH836 with childrenH1121; LetH1961 him be acceptableH7521 unto his brethrenH251, And letH1961 him dipH2881 his footH7272 in oilH8081. 25Thy bars shall be ironH1270 and brassH5178; And as thy daysH3117, so shall thy strengthH1679 be. 26There is noneH369 like unto GodH410, O JeshurunH3484, Who rideth upon the heavenH8064 for thy helpH5828, And in his excellency on the skiesH7834. 27The eternalH5769 GodH430 is thy dwellingH4585 placeH8478, And underneathH8478 are the everlastingH5769 armsH2220: And he thrust outH1644 the enemyH341 from beforeH6440 thee, And saidH559, DestroyH8045. 28And IsraelH3478 dwelleth in safetyH983, The fountain of JacobH3290 aloneH910, In a landH776 of corn and wineH8492; Yea, his heavensH8064 dropH6201 downH7931 dewH2919. 29HappyH835 art thou, O IsraelH3478: Who is like unto thee, a peopleH5971 savedH3467 by the LORDH3068, The shieldH4043 of thy helpH5828, And that is the swordH2719 of thy excellency! And thine enemiesH341 shall submitH3584 themselvesH5921 unto thee; And thou shalt treadH1869 uponH5921 their highH1116 placesH1116.
