And this is the blessing of Judah; and he said: "Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people; let his hands be sufficient for him, and be Thou a help to him from his enemies."
8
And of Levi he said: "Let Thy Thummim and Thy Urim be with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah,
9
who said unto his father and to his mother, `I have not seen him'; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children; for they have observed Thy word, and kept Thy covenant.
10
They shall teach Jacob Thy judgments and Israel Thy law; they shall put incense before Thee and whole burnt sacrifice upon Thine altar.
11
Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again."
12
And of Benjamin he said: "The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by Him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between His shoulders."
13
And of Joseph he said: "Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
14
and for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15
and for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16
and for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush. Let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
17
His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns. With them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth; and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
