Moses Blesses the Tribes

1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced on the Israelites before his death.
2 He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran. He came with[a] myriads of holy ones from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
3 Surely it is you who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet they all bow down, and from you receive instruction,
4 the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.
5 He was king over Jeshurun[c] when the leaders of the people assembled, along with the tribes of Israel.
