Deuteronomy 33:2-11 (New Revised Standard)

2 He said: The Lord came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon us; a he shone forth from Mount Paran. With him were myriads of holy ones; b at his right, a host of his own. c 3 Indeed, O favorite among d peoples, all his holy ones were in your charge; they marched at your heels, accepted direction from you. 4 Moses charged us with the law, as a possession for the assembly of Jacob. 5 There arose a king in Jeshurun, when the leaders of the people assembled— the united tribes of Israel. 6 May Reuben live, and not die out, even though his numbers are few. 7 And this he said of Judah: O Lord, give heed to Judah, and bring him to his people; strengthen his hands for him, e and be a help against his adversaries. 8 And of Levi he said: Give to Levi f your Thummim, and your Urim to your loyal one, whom you tested at Massah, with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah; 9 who said of his father and mother, "I regard them not"; he ignored his kin, and did not acknowledge his children. For they observed your word, and kept your covenant. 10 They teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law; they place incense before you, and whole burnt offerings on your altar. 11 Bless, O Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; crush the loins of his adversaries, of those that hate him, so that they do not rise again.
