Deuteronomy 33:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 And this he said of Judah:
“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,
and bring him in to his people.
With your hands contend[a] for him,
and be a help against his adversaries.”
8 And (A)of Levi he said,
“Give to Levi[b] (B)your Thummim,
and your Urim to your godly one,
(C)whom you tested at Massah,
with whom you quarrelled at the waters of Meribah;
9 who said of his father and mother,
‘I regard them not’;
(D)he disowned his brothers
and ignored his children.
For (E)they observed your word
and kept your covenant.
