Deuteronomy 33:7-9
American Standard Version
7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,
Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,
And bring him in unto his people.
[a]With his hands he contended [b]for himself;
And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.
8 And of Levi he said,
Thy Thummim and thy Urim are with [c]thy godly one,
Whom thou didst prove at Massah,
With whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
9 Who said of his father, and of his mother, I have not seen him;
Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,
Nor knew he his own children:
For they have observed thy word,
And keep thy covenant.

New International Version
7 And this he said about Judah:(A)
“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!”
8 About Levi(B) he said:
“Your Thummim and Urim(C) belong
to your faithful servant.(D)
You tested(E) him at Massah;
you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.(F)
9 He said of his father and mother,(G)
‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
and guarded your covenant.(H)
