The Blessing of Moses

Deu 33:1

Deu 33:1And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

Deu 33:2

Deu 33:2And he said,

Jehovah came from Sinai,

And rose from Seir unto them;

He shined forth from mount Paran,

And he came from the ten thousands of holy ones:

At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

Deu 33:3

Yea, he loveth the people;

All his saints are in thy hand:

And they sat down at thy feet;

Every one shall receive of thy words.

Deu 33:4

Moses commanded us a law,

An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.

Deu 33:5

And he was king in Jeshurun,

When the heads of the people were gathered,

All the tribes of Israel together.

Deu 33:6

Let Reuben live, and not die;

Nor let his men be few.

Deu 33:7

Deu 33:7And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,

Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,

And bring him in unto his people.

With his hands he contended for himself;

And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.

Deu 33:8

Deu 33:8And of Levi he said,

Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with thy godly one,

Whom thou didst prove at Massah,

With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;

Deu 33:9

Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him;

Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,

Nor knew he his own children:

For they have observed thy word,

And keep thy covenant.

Deu 33:10

They shall teach Jacob thine ordinances,

And Israel thy law:

They shall put incense before thee,

And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar.

Deu 33:11

Bless, Jehovah, his substance,

And accept the work of his hands:

Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him,

And of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

Deu 33:12

Deu 33:12Of Benjamin he said,

The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him;

He covereth him all the day long,

And he dwelleth between his shoulders.

Deu 33:13

Deu 33:13And of Joseph he said,

Blessed of Jehovah be his land,

For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,

And for the deep that coucheth beneath,

Deu 33:14

And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,

And for the precious things of the growth of the moons,

Deu 33:15

And for the chief things of the ancient mountains,

And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,

Deu 33:16

And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,

And the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.

Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph,

And upon the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

Deu 33:17

The firstling of his herd, majesty is his;

And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox:

With them he shall push the peoples all of them, even the ends of the earth:

And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

And they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Deu 33:18

Deu 33:18And of Zebulun he said,

Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;

And, Issachar, in thy tents.

Deu 33:19

They shall call the peoples unto the mountain;

There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness:

For they shall suck the abundance of the seas,

And the hidden treasures of the sand.

Deu 33:20

Deu 33:20And of Gad he said,

Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad:

He dwelleth as a lioness,

And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.

Deu 33:21

And he provided the first part for himself,

For there was the lawgiver’s portion reserved;

And he came with the heads of the people;

He executed the righteousness of Jehovah,

And his ordinances with Israel.

Dan is a lion’s whelp,

That leapeth forth from Bashan.

O Naphtali, satisfied with favor,

And full with the blessing of Jehovah,

Possess thou the west and the south.

Deu 33:24

Deu 33:24And of Asher he said,

Blessed be Asher with children;

Let him be acceptable unto his brethren,

And let him dip his foot in oil.

Deu 33:25

Thy bars shall be iron and brass;

And as thy days, so shall thy strength be.

Deu 33:26

There is none like unto God, O Jeshurun,

Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,

And in his excellency on the skies.

Deu 33:27

The eternal God is thy dwelling-place,

And underneath are the everlasting arms.

And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,

And said, Destroy.

Deu 33:28

And Israel dwelleth in safety,

The fountain of Jacob alone,

In a land of grain and new wine;

Yea, his heavens drop down dew.

Deu 33:29

Happy art thou, O Israel:

Who is like unto thee, a people saved by Jehovah,

The shield of thy help,

And the sword of thy excellency!

And thine enemies shall submit themselves unto thee;

And thou shalt tread upon their high places.
