Chapter 33

1

 

  And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death, 

 

 


2

 

  and he saith: -- 'Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are] springs for them. 

 

 


3

 

  Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in thy hand, And they -- they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He lifteth up at thy words. 

 

 


4

 

  A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob. 

 

 


5

 

  And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel! 

 

 


6

 

  Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number. 

 

 


7

 

  And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: -- Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou. 

 

 


8

 

  And of Levi he said: -- Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him at the waters of Meribah; 

 

 


9

 

  Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep. 

 

 


10

 

  They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar. 

 

 


11

 

  Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him -- that they rise not! 

 

 


12

 

  Of Benjamin he said: -- The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle. 

 

 


13

 

  And of Joseph he said: -- Blessed of Jehovah [is] his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath, 

 

 


14

 

  And by precious things -- fruits of the sun, And by precious things -- cast forth by the moons, 

 

 


15

 

  And by chief things -- of the ancient mountains, And by precious things -- of the age-during heights, 

 

 


16

 

  And by precious things -- of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, -- Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren. 

 

 


17

 

  His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are] horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they [are] the thousands of Manasseh. 

 

 


18

 

  And of Zebulun he said: -- Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents; 

 

 


19

 

  Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand. 

 

 


20

 

  And of Gad he said: -- Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm -- also the crown! 

 

 


21

 

  And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel. 

 

 


22

 

  And of Dan he said: -- Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth leap from Bashan. 

 

 


23

 

  And of Naphtali he said: -- O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou. 

 

 


24

 

  And of Asher he said: -- Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot. 

 

 


25

 

  Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days -- thy strength. 

 

 


26

 

  There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies. 

 

 


27

 

  A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, 'Destroy!' 

 

 


28

 

  And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew. 

 

 


29

 

  O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.'
