Deuteronomy
33, 34
Deu
33:1 This is the blessing, with which Moses the man of God blessed
the children of Israel before his death.
Deu
33:2 He said, Yahweh came from Sinai, And rose from Seir to them. He
shone forth from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy
ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
Deu
33:3 Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They
sat down at your feet; Everyone
shall receive of your words.
Deu
33:4 Moses commanded us a law, An inheritance for the assembly of
Jacob.
Deu
33:5 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 This is the blessing
of Judah: and he said, Hear, Yahweh, the voice of Judah. Bring him in
to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be
a help against his adversaries.
Deu
33:8 Of Levi he said, Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly
one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you strove 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 brothers, Nor did he know his own
children: For they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
Deu
33:10 They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law.
They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your
altar.
Deu
33:11 Yahweh, bless his substance. Accept the work of his hands.
Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those
who hate him, that they not rise again.
Deu
33:12 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Yahweh shall dwell in
safety by him. He covers him all the day long. He dwells between his
shoulders.
Deu
33:13 Of Joseph he said, His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the
precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that
couches beneath,
Deu
33:14 for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the
precious things of the growth of the moons,
Deu
33:15 for the chief things of the ancient mountains, for the
precious things of the everlasting hills,
Deu
33:16 for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the
good will of him who lived in the bush. Let the
blessing come on the head of Joseph, On
the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.
Deu
33:17 The firstborn of his herd, majesty is his. 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: They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They
are the thousands of Manasseh.
Deu
33:18 Of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and
Issachar, in your tents.
Deu
33:19 They shall call the peoples to the mountain. There they will
offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they shall draw out the
abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand.
Deu
33:20 Of Gad he said, He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a
lioness, and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head.
Deu
33:21 He provided the first part for himself, for there was the
lawgiver's portion reserved. He came with
the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Yahweh, His
ordinances with Israel.
Deu
33:22 Of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's cub that leaps out of Bashan.
Deu
33:23 Of Naphtali he said, Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of
the blessing of Yahweh, Possess the west and the south.

33:24 Of Asher he said, Asher is blessed with children. Let him be
acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
Deu
33:25 Your bars shall be iron and brass. As your days, so your
strength will be.
Deu
33:26 There is none like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for
your help, In his excellency on the skies.
Deu
33:27 The eternal God is your
dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out
the enemy from before you, and said, Destroy.
Deu
33:28 Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob alone, In a
land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
Deu
33:29 You are happy, Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by
Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency! Your
enemies shall submit themselves to you. You shall tread on their high
places.
Deu
34:1 Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top
of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. Yahweh showed him all the
land of Gilead, to Dan,
Deu
34:2 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all
the land of Judah, to the hinder sea,
Deu
34:3 and the South, and the Plain of the valley of Jericho the city
of palm trees, to Zoar.
Deu
34:4 Yahweh said to him, This is the land which I swore to Abraham,
to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed: I have
caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not go over there.
Deu
34:5 So Moses the servant of Yahweh died there in the land of Moab,
according to the word of Yahweh.
Deu
34:6 He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab over against
Beth Peor: but no man knows of his tomb to this day.
Deu
34:7 Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died: his eye
was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deu
34:8 The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab
thirty days: so the days of weeping in the mourning for Moses were
ended.
Deu
34:9 Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for
Moses had laid his hands on him: and the children of Israel listened
to him, and did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
Deu
34:10 There has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses,
whom Yahweh knew face to face,
Deu
34:11 in all the signs and the wonders, which Yahweh sent him to do
in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all
his land,
Deu
34:12 and in all the mighty hand, and in all the great terror, which
Moses worked in the sight of all Israel.
