Deuteronomy 33:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Moses said this to Judah:
“Lord, listen to Judah’s voice!
Bring him back to his own people,
strengthen his hands;[a]
be his help against every enemy.”
8 Then he told Levi:
“Give your Thummim to Levi,[b]
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!

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)
