Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 33
Chapter 33 of Deuteronomy
¶ Jehovah came from Sinai,
¶ And rose from Seir unto them;
¶ He shined forth from mount Paran,
¶ And he came from the ten thousands of [a]holy ones:
¶ At his right hand [b]was a fiery law for them.
¶ All [d]his saints are in thy hand:
¶ And they sat down at thy feet;
¶ Every one [e]shall receive of thy words.
¶ An inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
¶ When the heads of the people were gathered,
¶ All the tribes of Israel together.
¶ [g]Nor let his men be few.
¶ Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,
¶ And bring him in unto his people.
¶ [h]With his hands he contended [i]for himself;
¶ And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.
¶ Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with [j]thy godly one,
¶ Whom thou didst prove at Massah,
¶ With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
¶ Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,
¶ Nor knew he his own children:
¶ For they have observed thy word,
¶ And keep thy covenant.
¶ And Israel thy law:
¶ They shall put incense [k]before thee,
¶ And whole burnt-offering upon thine altar.
¶ 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.
¶ The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by him;
¶ He covereth him all the day long,
¶ And he dwelleth between his shoulders.
¶ Blessed of Jehovah be his land,
¶ For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,
¶ And for the deep that coucheth beneath,
¶ And for the precious things of the growth of the [l]moons,
¶ And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
¶ 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 [m]that was separate from his brethren.
¶ And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox:
¶ With them he shall [o]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.
¶ Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out;
¶ And, Issachar, in thy tents.
¶ There shall they offer sacrifices of righteousness:
¶ For they shall suck the abundance of the seas,
¶ And the hidden treasures of the sand.
¶ Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad:
¶ He dwelleth as a lioness,
¶ And teareth the arm, yea, the crown of the head.
¶ For there was [q]the lawgiver’s portion reserved;
¶ And he came [r]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 [s]west and the south.
¶ Blessed be Asher [t]with children;
¶ Let him be acceptable unto his brethren,
¶ And let him dip his foot in oil.
¶ And as thy days, so shall thy [v]strength be.
¶ Who rideth upon the heavens for thy help,
¶ And in his excellency on the skies.
¶ And underneath are the everlasting arms.
¶ And he thrust out the enemy from before thee,
¶ And said, Destroy.
¶ The fountain of Jacob alone,
¶ In a land of grain and new wine;
¶ Yea, his heavens drop down dew.
¶ 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 [w]submit themselves unto thee;
¶ And thou shalt tread upon their high places.FOOTNOTES
