Deuteronomy 33:5-7
The Message
The Blessing
33 1-5 Moses, man of God, blessed the People of Israel with this blessing before his death. He said,
God came down from Sinai,
he dawned from Seir upon them;
He radiated light from Mount Paran,
coming with ten thousand holy angels
And tongues of fire
streaming from his right hand.
Oh, how you love the people,
all his holy ones are palmed in your left hand.
They sit at your feet,
honoring your teaching,
The Revelation commanded by Moses,
as the assembly of Jacob’s inheritance.
Thus God became king in Jeshurun
as the leaders and tribes of Israel gathered.
6 Reuben:
“Let Reuben live and not die,
but just barely, in diminishing numbers.”
7 Judah:
“Listen, God, to the Voice of Judah,
bring him to his people;
Strengthen his grip,
be his helper against his foes.”
Deuteronomy 33:5-7
New International Version
5 He was king(A) over Jeshurun[a](B)
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
7 And this he said about Judah:(D)
“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”
