And this is the blessing{H1293}, wherewith Moses{H4872} the man{H376} of God{H430} blessed{H1288}{(H8765)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} before{H6440} his death{H4194}.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, The LORD{H3068} came{H935}{(H8804)} from Sinai{H5514}, and rose up{H2224}{(H8804)} from Seir{H8165} unto them; he shined forth{H3313}{(H8689)} from mount{H2022} Paran{H6290}, and he came{H857}{(H8804)} with ten thousands{H7233} of saints{H6944}: from his right hand{H3225} went a fiery{H799}{(H8676)}{H784} law{H1881} for them.

Yea{H637}, he loved{H2245}{(H8801)} the people{H5971}; all his saints{H6918} are in thy hand{H3027}: and they sat down{H8497}{(H8795)} at thy feet{H7272}; every one shall receive{H5375}{(H8799)} of thy words{H1703}.

Moses{H4872} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} us a law{H8451}, even the inheritance{H4181} of the congregation{H6952} of Jacob{H3290}.

And he was king{H4428} in Jeshurun{H3484}, when the heads{H7218} of the people{H5971} and the tribes{H7626} of Israel{H3478} were gathered{H622}{(H8692)} together{H3162}.

Let Reuben{H7205} live{H2421}{(H8799)}, and not die{H4191}{(H8799)}; and let not his men{H4962} be few{H4557}.

And this is the blessing of Judah{H3063}: and he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Hear{H8085}{(H8798)}, LORD{H3068}, the voice{H6963} of Judah{H3063}, and bring{H935}{(H8686)} him unto his people{H5971}: let his hands{H3027} be sufficient{H7227} for him; and be thou an help{H5828} to him from his enemies{H6862}.

And of Levi{H3878} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Let thy Thummim{H8550} and thy Urim{H224} be with thy holy{H2623} one{H376}, whom thou didst prove{H5254}{(H8765)} at Massah{H4532}, and with whom thou didst strive{H7378}{(H8799)} at the waters{H4325} of Meribah{H4809};

Who said{H559}{(H8802)} unto his father{H1} and to his mother{H517}, I have not seen{H7200}{(H8804)} him; neither did he acknowledge{H5234}{(H8689)} his brethren{H251}, nor knew{H3045}{(H8804)} his own children{H1121}: for they have observed{H8104}{(H8804)} thy word{H565}, and kept{H5341}{(H8799)} thy covenant{H1285}.

They shall teach{H3384}{(H8686)} Jacob{H3290} thy judgments{H4941}, and Israel{H3478} thy law{H8451}: they shall put{H7760}{(H8799)} incense{H6988} before{H639} thee, and whole burnt sacrifice{H3632} upon thine altar{H4196}.

Bless{H1288}{(H8761)}, LORD{H3068}, his substance{H2428}, and accept{H7521}{(H8799)} the work{H6467} of his hands{H3027}: smite{H4272}{(H8798)} through the loins{H4975} of them that rise{H6965}{(H8801)} against him, and of them that hate{H8130}{(H8764)} him, that they rise{H6965} not{H4480} again{H6965}{(H8799)}.

And of Benjamin{H1144} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, The beloved{H3039} of the LORD{H3068} shall dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in safety{H983} by him; and the LORD shall cover{H2653}{(H8802)} him all the day{H3117} long, and he shall dwell{H7931}{(H8804)} between his shoulders{H3802}.

And of Joseph{H3130} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Blessed{H1288}{(H8794)} of the LORD{H3068} be his land{H776}, for the precious things{H4022} of heaven{H8064}, for the dew{H2919}, and for the deep{H8415} that coucheth beneath{H7257}{(H8802)},

And for the precious{H4022} fruits{H8393} brought forth by the sun{H8121}, and for the precious things{H4022} put forth{H1645} by the moon{H3391},

And for the chief things{H7218} of the ancient{H6924} mountains{H2042}, and for the precious things{H4022} of the lasting{H5769} hills{H1389},

And for the precious things{H4022} of the earth{H776} and fulness{H4393} thereof, and for the good will{H7522} of him that dwelt{H7931}{(H8802)} in the bush{H5572}: let the blessing come{H935}{(H8799)} upon the head{H7218} of Joseph{H3130}, and upon the top of the head{H6936} of him that was separated{H5139} from his brethren{H251}.

His glory{H1926} is like the firstling{H1060} of his bullock{H7794}, and his horns{H7161} are like the horns{H7161} of unicorns{H7214}: with them he shall push{H5055}{(H8762)} the people{H5971} together{H3162} to the ends{H657} of the earth{H776}: and they are the ten thousands{H7233} of Ephraim{H669}, and they are the thousands{H505} of Manasseh{H4519}.

And of Zebulun{H2074} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Rejoice{H8055}{(H8798)}, Zebulun{H2074}, in thy going out{H3318}{(H8800)}; and, Issachar{H3485}, in thy tents{H168}.

They shall call{H7121}{(H8799)} the people{H5971} unto the mountain{H2022}; there they shall offer{H2076}{(H8799)} sacrifices{H2077} of righteousness{H6664}: for they shall suck{H3243}{(H8799)} of the abundance{H8228} of the seas{H3220}, and of treasures{H8226}{(H8803)} hid{H2934}{(H8803)} in the sand{H2344}.

And of Gad{H1410} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} be he that enlargeth{H7337}{(H8688)} Gad{H1410}: he dwelleth{H7931}{(H8804)} as a lion{H3833}, and teareth{H2963}{(H8804)} the arm{H2220} with{H637} the crown of the head{H6936}.

And he provided{H7200}{(H8799)} the first part{H7225} for himself, because there, in a portion{H2513} of the lawgiver{H2710}{(H8781)}, was he seated{H5603}{(H8803)}; and he came{H857}{(H8799)} with the heads{H7218} of the people{H5971}, he executed{H6213}{(H8804)} the justice{H6666} of the LORD{H3068}, and his judgments{H4941} with Israel{H3478}.

And of Dan{H1835} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Dan{H1835} is a lion's{H738} whelp{H1482}: he shall leap{H2187}{(H8762)} from Bashan{H1316}.

And of Naphtali{H5321} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, O Naphtali{H5321}, satisfied{H7649} with favour{H7522}, and full{H4392} with the blessing{H1293} of the LORD{H3068}: possess{H3423}{(H8798)} thou the west{H3220} and the south{H1864}.

And of Asher{H836} he said{H559}{(H8804)}, Let Asher{H836} be blessed{H1288}{(H8803)} with children{H1121}; let him be acceptable{H7521}{(H8803)} to his brethren{H251}, and let him dip{H2881}{(H8802)} his foot{H7272} in oil{H8081}.

Thy shoes{H4515} shall be iron{H1270} and brass{H5178}; and as thy days{H3117}, so shall thy strength{H1679} be.

There is none like unto the God{H410} of Jeshurun{H3484}, who rideth{H7392}{(H8802)} upon the heaven{H8064} in thy help{H5828}, and in his excellency{H1346} on the sky{H7834}.

The eternal{H6924} God{H430} is thy refuge{H4585}, and underneath are the everlasting{H5769} arms{H2220}: and he shall thrust out{H1644}{(H8762)} the enemy{H341}{(H8802)} from before{H6440} thee; and shall say{H559}{(H8799)}, Destroy{H8045}{(H8685)} them.

Israel{H3478} then shall dwell{H7931}{(H8799)} in safety{H983} alone{H910}: the fountain{H5869} of Jacob{H3290} shall be upon a land{H776} of corn{H1715} and wine{H8492}; also his heavens{H8064} shall drop down{H6201}{(H8799)} dew{H2919}.

Happy{H835} art thou, O Israel{H3478}: who is like unto thee, O people{H5971} saved{H3467}{(H8737)} by the LORD{H3068}, the shield{H4043} of thy help{H5828}, and who is the sword{H2719} of thy excellency{H1346}! and thine enemies{H341}{(H8802)} shall be found liars{H3584}{(H8735)} unto thee; and thou shalt tread{H1869}{(H8799)} upon their high places{H1116}.
