The Fifth Book of Moses: Deuteronomy

Literal Standard Version 2020

- Kapitel 33 -

1
And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
2
and he says: “YHWH has come from Sinai, || And has risen from Seir for them; He has shone from Mount Paran, || And has come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [came] a fiery law [[ or a flaming fire]] for them.
3
Indeed, He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in Your hand, || And they sat down at Your foot, || [Each] lifts up Your words.
4
Moses has commanded a law for us, || A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5
And He is King in Yeshurun, || In the heads of the people gathering together, || The tribes of Israel!
6
Let Reuben live, and not die, || And let his men be an [incalculable] number.
7
And this [is] for Judah, and he says: Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, || And You bring him in to his people; His hand has striven for him, || And You are a help from his adversaries.
8
And of Levi he said: Your Perfections and your Lights [are] for your pious one, || Whom You have tried in Massah, || You strive with him at the waters of Meribah;
9
Who is saying of his father and his mother, || I have not seen him; And he has not discerned his brothers, || And he has not known his sons; For they have observed Your saying, || And they keep Your covenant.
10
They teach Your judgments to Jacob, || And Your law to Israel; They put incense in Your nose, || And whole burnt-offering on Your altar.
11
Bless, O YHWH, his strength, || And accept the work of his hands, || Strike the loins of his withstanders, || And of those hating himthat they do not rise!
12
Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of YHWH dwells confidently by Him, || Covering him over every day; Indeed, he dwells between His shoulders.
13
And of Joseph he said: His land [is] blessed [by] YHWH, || By a precious thing of the heavens, || By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
14
And by a precious thing—fruits of the sun, || And by a precious thing—cast forth by the months,
15
And by a chief thing—of the ancient mountains, || And by a precious thing—of the continuous heights,
16
And by a precious thing—of earth and its fullness, || And the good pleasure of Him who is dwelling in the bush; Let it come for the head of Joseph, || And for the crown of him [who is] separate from his brothers.
17
His splendor [is] a firstling of his ox, || And his horns [are] horns of a wild ox; With them he pushes the peoples || Altogether to the ends of the earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, || And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.
18
And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, O Zebulun, in your going out, || And, O Issachar, in your tents;
19
They call peoples [to] the mountain, || There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For they suck up the abundance of the seas, || And hidden things hidden in the sand.
20
And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who is enlarging Gad, || He dwells as a lioness, || And has torn the arm—also the crown!
21
And he provides the first part for himself, || For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, || And he comes [with] the heads of the people; He has done the righteousness of YHWH, || And His judgments with Israel.
22
And of Dan he said: Dan [is] a lion’s whelp; He leaps from Bashan.
23
And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, || And full of the blessing of YHWH, || Possess [the] west and [the] south.
24
And of Asher he said: Asher [is] blessed with sons, || Let him be accepted by his brothers, || And dipping his foot in oil.
25
Iron and bronze [are] your shoes, || And as your daysyour strength.
26
[There is] none like the God of Yeshurun, || Riding the heavens to your help, || And in His excellence the skies.
27
The eternal God [is] a habitation, || And beneath [are] continuous arms. And He casts out the enemy from your presence and says, Destroy!
28
And Israel dwells [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] to a land of grain and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
29
O your blessedness, O Israel! Who is like you? A people saved by YHWH, || The shield of your help, || And He who [is] the sword of your excellence! And your enemies are subdued for you, || And you tread on their high places.”
