Deuteronomy 33

Common English Bible CEB

1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave the Israelites before he died.

2 He said: The LORD came from Sinai: from Seir he shone like the dawn on us, from Paran Mountain he beamed down. Thousands of holy ones were with him; his warriors were next to him, ready.

3 Yes, those who love the nations— all his holy ones—were at your command; they followed your footsteps; they got moving when you said so.

4 Moses gave the Instruction to us— it's the prized possession of Jacob's assembly.

5 A king came to rule in Jeshurun, when the people's leaders gathered together, when Israel's tribes were one.

6 "I pray that Reuben lives, doesn't die, though his numbers are so few."

7 Moses said this to Judah: "LORD, listen to Judah's voice! Bring him back to his own people, strengthen his hands; be his help against every enemy."

8 Then he told Levi: "Give your Thummim to Levi, your Urim to your faithful one— the one you tested at Massah, the one you challenged by Meribah's waters;

9 the one who said of his own mother and father: ‘I don't consider them as such'; of their siblings: ‘I don't recognize them'; of their own children, ‘I don't know them'— but who obeyed your words and who guarded your covenant!

10 They teach your case laws to Jacob, your Instruction to Israel. They hold sweet incense to your nose; put the entirely burned offering on your altar.

11 I pray that the LORD blesses Levi's strength, favors his hard work, and crushes the insides of his enemies so that those who hate him can't fight anymore."

12 He said to Benjamin: "The LORD's dearest one rests safely on him. The Lord always shields him; he rests on God's chest."

13 Then he told Joseph: "I pray that his land is blessed by God: with heaven's gifts from above, with the deep waters stretching out underneath;

14 with the gifts produced by the sun, with the gifts generated by the moon;

15 with the best fruit from ancient mountains, with the gifts of eternal hills;

16 with the gifts of the earth and all that fills it, and the favor of the one who lives on Sinai. I pray that all these rest on Joseph's head, on the crown of that prince among brothers.

17 A firstborn bull—that's how majestic he is! A wild ox's horns—those are his horns! With them he gores all peoples completely, to the far ends of the earth! His horns are Ephraim's tens of thousands. His horns are Manasseh's thousands."

18 Then he told Zebulun: "Zebulun: celebrate when you are out and about; Issachar: celebrate when you are at home in your tents!

19 They call all sorts of people to the mountain, where they offer right sacrifices. It's true: They're nourished on the sea's abundance; they are nourished on buried treasures in the sand."

20 Then he told Gad: "May Gad's broad lands be blessed! He lives like a lion: he rips an arm, even a head!

21 He chose the best part for himself because there, where the commander's portion was, the leaders of the people gathered together. Gad executed the LORD's justice and the Lord's judgments for Israel."

22 Then he told Dan: "Dan is a lion cub. He jumps up from Bashan."

23 Then he told Naphtali: "Naphtali—you are full of favor, overflowing with the LORD's blessing— go possess the west and the south!"

24 Finally, he told Asher: "Asher is the most blessed of sons. I pray that he's his brothers' favorite— one who dips his foot in fine oil.

25 I pray that your dead bolts are iron and copper, and that your strength lasts all your days."

26 Jeshurun! No one compares to God! He rides through heaven to help you, rides majestically through the clouds.

27 The most ancient God is a place of safety; the eternal arms are a support. He drove out the enemy before you. He commanded: "Destroy them!"

28 So Israel now lives in safety— Jacob's residence is secure— in a land full of grain and wine, where the heavens drip dew.

29 Happy are you, Israel! Who is like you? You are a people saved by the LORD! He's the shield that helps you, your majestic sword! Your enemies will come crawling on their knees to you, but you will stomp on their backs!

English Standard Version ESV

1 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the people of Israel before his death.

2 He said, “The Lord came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand.

3 Yes, he loved his people, all his holy ones were in his hand; so they followed in your steps, receiving direction from you,

4 when Moses commanded us a law, as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 Thus the Lord became king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.

6 “Let Reuben live, and not die, but let his men be few. ”

7 And this he said of Judah: “Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him in to his people. With your hands contend for him, and be a help against his adversaries. ”

8 And of Levi he said, “Give to Levi your Thummim, and your Urim to your godly one, whom you tested at Massah, with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;

9 who said of his father and mother, ‘I regard them not’; he disowned his brothers and ignored his children. For they observed your word and kept your covenant.

10 They shall teach Jacob your rules and Israel your law; they shall put 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 who hate him, that they rise not again. ”

12 Of Benjamin he said, “The beloved of the Lord dwells in safety. The High God surrounds him all day long, and dwells between his shoulders. ”

13 And of Joseph he said, “Blessed by the Lord be his land, with the choicest gifts of heaven above, and of the deep that crouches beneath,

14 with the choicest fruits of the sun and the rich yield of the months,

15 with the finest produce of the ancient mountains and the abundance of the everlasting hills,

16 with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwells in the bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph, on the pate of him who is prince among his brothers.

17 A firstborn bull—he has majesty, and his horns are the horns of a wild ox; with them he shall gore the peoples, all of them, to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. ”

18 And of Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar, in your tents.

19 They shall call peoples to their mountain; there they offer right sacrifices; for they draw from the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand. ”

20 And of Gad he said, “Blessed be he who enlarges Gad! Gad crouches like a lion; he tears off arm and scalp.

21 He chose the best of the land for himself, for there a commander’s portion was reserved; and he came with the heads of the people, with Israel he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments for Israel. ”

22 And of Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps from Bashan. ”

23 And of Naphtali he said, “O Naphtali, sated with favor, and full of the blessing of the Lord, possess the lake and the south. ”

24 And of Asher he said, “Most blessed of sons be Asher; let him be the favorite of his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.

25 Your bars shall be iron and bronze, and as your days, so shall your strength be.

26 “There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to your help, through the skies in his majesty.

27 The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy before you and said, ‘Destroy. ’

28 So Israel lived in safety, Jacob lived alone, in a land of grain and wine, whose heavens drop down dew.

29 Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, and the sword of your triumph! Your enemies shall come fawning to you, and you shall tread upon their backs. ”
