Deuteronomy 33 (WEBP)

[1] This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
[2] He said, “Yahweh came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them. He shone from Mount Paran. He came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.
[3] Yes, he loves the people. All his saints are in your hand. They sat down at your feet. Each receives your words.
[4] Moses commanded us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob.
[5] He was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
[6] “Let Reuben live, and not die; Nor let his men be few.”
[7] This is for Judah. He said, “Hear, Yahweh, the voice of Judah. Bring him in to his people. With his hands he contended for himself. You shall be a help against his adversaries.”
[8] About Levi he said, “Your Thummim and your Urim are with your godly one, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah.
[9] He said of his father, and of his mother, ‘I have not seen him.’ He didn’t acknowledge his brothers, nor did he know his own children; for they have observed your word, and keep your covenant.
[10] They shall teach Jacob your ordinances, and Israel your law. They shall put incense before you, and whole burnt offering on your altar.
[11] Yahweh, bless his skills. Accept the work of his hands. Strike through the hips of those who rise up against him, of those who hate him, that they not rise again.”
[12] About Benjamin he said, “The beloved of Yahweh will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all day long. He dwells between his shoulders.”
[13] About Joseph he said, “His land is blessed by Yahweh, for the precious things of the heavens, for the dew, for the deep that couches beneath,
[14] for the precious things of the fruits of the sun, for the precious things that the moon can yield,
[15] for the best things of the ancient mountains, for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
[16] for the precious things of the earth and its fullness, the good will of him who lived in the bush. Let this come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.
[17] Majesty belongs to the firstborn of his herd. His horns are the horns of the wild ox. With them he will push all the peoples to the ends of the earth. They are the ten thousands of Ephraim. They are the thousands of Manasseh.”
[18] About Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out; and Issachar, in your tents.
[19] They will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas, the hidden treasures of the sand.”
[20] About Gad he said, “He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness, and tears the arm and the crown of the head.
[21] He provided the first part for himself, for the lawgiver’s portion was reserved for him. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Yahweh, His ordinances with Israel.”
[22] About Dan he said, “Dan is a lion’s cub that leaps out of Bashan.”
[23] About Naphtali he said, “Naphtali, satisfied with favor, full of Yahweh’s blessing, Possess the west and the south.”
[24] About Asher he said, “Asher is blessed with children. Let him be acceptable to his brothers. Let him dip his foot in oil.
[25] Your bars will be iron and bronze. As your days, so your strength will be.
[26] “There is no one like God, Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens for your help, in his excellency on the skies.
[27] The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’
[28] Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, In a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew.
[29] You are happy, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahweh, the shield of your help, the sword of your excellency? Your enemies will submit themselves to you. You will tread on their high places.”

Deuteronomy 33:2 another manuscript reads “He came with myriads of holy ones from the south, from his mountain slopes.”
Deuteronomy 33:16 i.e., the burning bush of Exodus 3:3-4.

Young’s Literal Translation

Deuteronomy 33 (YLT)

[1] And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death,
[2] and he saith:- ‘Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And hath come with myriads of holy ones; At His right hand are springs for them.
[3] Also He is loving the peoples; All His holy ones are in thy hand, And they-they sat down at thy foot, Each He lifteth up at thy words.
[4] A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly of Jacob.
[5] And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people gathering together, The tribes of Israel!
[6] Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number.
[7] And this is for Judah; and he saith:- Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in; His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries art Thou.
[8] And of Levi he said:- Thy Thummim and thy Urim are for thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive with Him at the waters of Meribah;
[9] Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy covenant they keep.
[10] They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel; They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine altar.
[11] Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of those hating him-that they rise not!
[12] Of Benjamin he said:- The beloved of Jehovah doth tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day; Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle.
[13] And of Joseph he said:- Blessed of Jehovah is his land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the deep crouching beneath,
[14] And by precious things-fruits of the sun, And by precious things-cast forth by the moons,
[15] And by chief things-of the ancient mountains, And by precious things-of the age-during heights,
[16] And by precious things-of earth and its fulness, And the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, -Let it come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is separate from his brethren.
[17] His honour is a firstling of his ox, And his horns are horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the ends of earth; And they are the myriads of Ephraim, And they are the thousands of Manasseh.
[18] And of Zebulun he said:- Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents;
[19] Peoples to the mountain they call, There they sacrifice righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck, And hidden things hidden in the sand.
[20] And of Gad he said:- Blessed of the Enlarger is Gad, As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm-also the crown!
[21] And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh with the heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done, And His judgments with Israel.
[22] And of Dan he said:- Dan is a lion’s whelp; he doth leap from Bashan.
[23] And of Naphtali he said:- O Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south possess thou.
[24] And of Asher he said:- Blessed with sons is Asher, Let him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot.
[25] Iron and brass are thy shoes, And as thy days-thy strength.
[26] There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens in thy help, And in His excellency the skies.
[27] A habitation is the eternal God, And beneath are arms age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and saith, ‘Destroy!’
[28] And Israel doth tabernacle in confidence alone; The eye of Jacob is unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens drop down dew.
[29] O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who is the sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.’
