Moses said this about the people of Judah:

“Lord, listen to Judah’s prayer.
    Bring them back to their people.
They defend themselves with their hands.
    Help them fight their enemies!”

Moses said this about the people of Levi:

“Lord, your Thummim and Urim belong
    to Levi whom you love.
Lord, you tested him at Massah.
    You argued with him at the waters of Meribah.

    ‘I don’t care about them.’
He did not recognize his brothers.
    He did not know his children.
But he protected your word.
    And he guarded your agreement.
