Deutéronome 33:1-2

1 Voici la bénédiction par laquelle Moïse, homme de Dieu, bénit les enfants d'Israël, avant sa mort.

2 Il dit: L'Eternel est venu du Sinaï, Il s'est levé sur eux de Séir, Il a resplendi de la montagne de Paran, Et il est sorti du milieu des saintes myriades: Il leur a de sa droite envoyé le feu de la loi.
