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.

[1] And this is the blessing, H1293 wherewith Moses H4872 the man H376 of God H430 blessed H1288 (PielPerf) the children H1121 of Israel H3478 before H6440 his death. H4194
[2] And he said, H559 (QalImpf) The Lord H3068 came H935 (QalPerf) from Sinai, H5514 And rose up H2224 (QalPerf) from Seir H8165 unto them; He shined forth H3313 (HiphPerf) from mount H2022 Paran, H6290 And he came H857 (QalPerf) with ten thousands H7233 of saints: H6944 From his right hand H3225 went a fiery H799 (Ketiv) H784 law§ H1881 for them.
[3] Yea, H637 he loved H2245 (QalPtc) the people; H5971 All his saints H6918 are in thy hand: H3027 And they sat down H8497 (PualPerf) at thy feet; H7272 Every one shall receive H5375 (QalImpf) of thy words. H1703
[4] Moses H4872 commanded H6680 (PielPerf) us a law, H8451 Even the inheritance H4181 of the congregation H6952 of Jacob. H3290

[6] Let Reuben H7205 live, H2421 (QalImpf) and not die; H4191 (QalImpf) And let not his men H4962 be few. H4557
[7] And this is the blessing of Judah: H3063 and he said, H559 (QalImpf) Hear, H8085 (QalImpv) Lord, H3068 the voice H6963 of Judah, H3063 And bring H935 (HiphImpf) 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
[8] And of Levi H3878 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Let thy Thummim H8550 and thy Urim H224 be with thy holy H2623 one, H376 Whom thou didst prove H5254 (PielPerf) at Massah, H4532 And with whom thou didst strive H7378 (QalImpf) at the waters H4325 of Meribah; H4809
[9] Who said H559 (QalActPtc) unto his father H1 and to his mother, H517 I have not seen H7200 (QalPerf) him; Neither did he acknowledge H5234 (HiphPerf) his brethren, H251 Nor knew H3045 (QalPerf) his own children: H1121 For they have observed H8104 (QalPerf) thy word, H565 And kept H5341 (QalImpf) thy covenant. H1285
[10] They shall teach§ H3384 (HiphImpf) Jacob H3290 thy judgments, H4941 And Israel H3478 thy law: H8451 They shall put H7760 (QalImpf) incense§ H6988 before H639 thee,§ And whole burnt sacrifice H3632 upon thine altar. H4196
[11] Bless, H1288 (PielImpv) Lord, H3068 his substance, H2428 And accept H7521 (QalImpf) the work H6467 of his hands: H3027 Smite H4272 (QalImpv) through the loins H4975 of them that rise H6965 (QalPtc) against him, And of them that hate H8130 (PielPtc) him, that they rise H6965 not H4480 again. H6965 (QalImpf)
[12] And of Benjamin H1144 he said, H559 (QalPerf) The beloved H3039 of the Lord H3068 shall dwell H7931 (QalImpf) in safety H983 by him; And the Lord shall cover H2653 (QalActPtc) him all the day H3117 long, And he shall dwell H7931 (QalPerf) between his shoulders. H3802
[13] And of Joseph H3130 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Blessed H1288 (PualPtc) 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 (QalActPtc)
[14] 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
[15] And for the chief things H7218 of the ancient H6924 mountains, H2042 And for the precious things H4022 of the lasting H5769 hills, H1389
[16] 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 (QalActPtc) in the bush: H5572 Let the blessing come H935 (QalImpf) 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
[17] 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 (PielImpf) 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
[18] And of Zebulun H2074 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Rejoice, H8055 (QalImpv) Zebulun, H2074 in thy going out; H3318 (QalInf) And, Issachar, H3485 in thy tents. H168
[19] They shall call H7121 (QalImpf) the people H5971 unto the mountain; H2022 There they shall offer H2076 (QalImpf) sacrifices H2077 of righteousness: H6664 For they shall suck H3243 (QalImpf) of the abundance H8228 of the seas, H3220 And of treasures H8226 (QalPasPtc) hid H2934 (QalPasPtc) in the sand. H2344
[20] And of Gad H1410 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Blessed H1288 (QalPasPtc) be he that enlargeth H7337 (HiphPtc) Gad: H1410 He dwelleth H7931 (QalPerf) as a lion, H3833 And teareth H2963 (QalPerf) the arm H2220 with H637 the crown of the head. H6936
[21] And he provided H7200 (QalImpf) the first part H7225 for himself, Because there, in a portion H2513 of the lawgiver, H2710 (PoelPtc) was he seated;§ H5603 (QalPasPtc) And he came H857 (QalImpf) with the heads H7218 of the people, H5971 He executed H6213 (QalPerf) the justice H6666 of the Lord, H3068 And his judgments H4941 with Israel. H3478
[22] And of Dan H1835 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Dan H1835 is a lion’s H738 whelp: H1482 He shall leap H2187 (PielImpf) from Bashan. H1316
[23] And of Naphtali H5321 he said, H559 (QalPerf) O Naphtali, H5321 satisfied H7649 with favour, H7522 And full H4392 with the blessing H1293 of the Lord: H3068 Possess H3423 (QalImpv) thou the west H3220 and the south. H1864
[24] And of Asher H836 he said, H559 (QalPerf) Let Asher H836 be blessed H1288 (QalPasPtc) with children; H1121 Let him be acceptable H7521 (QalPasPtc) to his brethren, H251 And let him dip H2881 (QalActPtc) his foot H7272 in oil. H8081
[25] Thy shoes§ H4515 shall be iron H1270 and brass; H5178 And as thy days, H3117 so shall thy strength H1679 be.
[26] There is none like unto the God H410 of Jeshurun, H3484 Who rideth H7392 (QalActPtc) upon the heaven H8064 in thy help, H5828 And in his excellency H1346 on the sky. H7834
[27] The eternal H6924 God H430 is thy refuge, H4585 And underneath are the everlasting H5769 arms: H2220 And he shall thrust out H1644 (PielImpf) the enemy H341 (QalActPtc) from before H6440 thee; And shall say, H559 (QalImpf) Destroy H8045 (HiphImpv) them.
[28] Israel H3478 then shall dwell H7931 (QalImpf) 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 (QalImpf) dew. H2919
[29] Happy H835 art thou, O Israel: H3478 Who is like unto thee, O people H5971 saved H3467 (NiphPtc) 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 (QalActPtc) shall be found liars§ H3584 (NiphImpf) unto thee; And thou shalt tread H1869 (QalImpf) upon their high places. H1116

[1] και αυτη η ευλογια ην ευλογησεν μωυσης ανθρωπος του θεου τους υιους ισραηλ προ της τελευτης αυτου
[2] και ειπεν κυριος εκ σινα ηκει και επεφανεν εκ σηιρ ημιν και κατεσπευσεν εξ ορους φαραν συν μυριασιν καδης εκ δεξιων αυτου αγγελοι μετ αυτου
[3] και εφεισατο του λαου αυτου και παντες οι ηγιασμενοι υπο τας χειρας σου και ουτοι υπο σε εισιν και εδεξατο απο των λογων αυτου
[4] νομον ον ενετειλατο ημιν μωυσης κληρονομιαν συναγωγαις ιακωβ
[5] και εσται εν τω ηγαπημενω αρχων συναχθεντων αρχοντων λαων αμα φυλαις ισραηλ
[6] ζητω ρουβην και μη αποθανετω και εστω πολυς εν αριθμω
[7] και αυτη ιουδα εισακουσον κυριε φωνης ιουδα και εις τον λαον αυτου εισελθοισαν αι χειρες αυτου διακρινουσιν αυτω και βοηθος εκ των εχθρων αυτου εση
[8] και τω λευι ειπεν δοτε λευι δηλους αυτου και αληθειαν αυτου τω ανδρι τω οσιω ον επειρασαν αυτον εν πειρα ελοιδορησαν αυτον επι υδατος αντιλογιας
[9] ο λεγων τω πατρι και τη μητρι ουχ εορακα σε και τους αδελφους αυτου ουκ επεγνω και τους υιους αυτου απεγνω εφυλαξεν τα λογια σου και την διαθηκην σου διετηρησεν
[10] δηλωσουσιν τα δικαιωματα σου τω ιακωβ και τον νομον σου τω ισραηλ επιθησουσιν θυμιαμα εν οργη σου δια παντος επι το θυσιαστηριον σου
[11] ευλογησον κυριε την ισχυν αυτου και τα εργα των χειρων αυτου δεξαι καταξον οσφυν εχθρων επανεστηκοτων αυτω και οι μισουντες αυτον μη αναστητωσαν
[12] και τω βενιαμιν ειπεν ηγαπημενος υπο κυριου κατασκηνωσει πεποιθως και ο θεος σκιαζει επ αυτω πασας τας ημερας και ανα μεσον των ωμων αυτου κατεπαυσεν
[13] και τω ιωσηφ ειπεν απ ευλογιας κυριου η γη αυτου απο ωρων ουρανου και δροσου και απο αβυσσων πηγων κατωθεν
[14] και καθ ωραν γενηματων ηλιου τροπων και απο συνοδων μηνων
[15] και απο κορυφης ορεων αρχης και απο κορυφης βουνων αεναων
[16] και καθ ωραν γης πληρωσεως και τα δεκτα τω οφθεντι εν τω βατω ελθοισαν επι κεφαλην ιωσηφ και επι κορυφης δοξασθεις εν αδελφοις
[17] πρωτοτοκος ταυρου το καλλος αυτου κερατα μονοκερωτος τα κερατα αυτου εν αυτοις εθνη κερατιει αμα εως επ ακρου γης αυται μυριαδες εφραιμ και αυται χιλιαδες μανασση
[18] και τω ζαβουλων ειπεν ευφρανθητι ζαβουλων εν εξοδια σου και ισσαχαρ εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτου
[19] εθνη εξολεθρευσουσιν και επικαλεσεσθε εκει και θυσετε θυσιαν δικαιοσυνης οτι πλουτος θαλασσης θηλασει σε και εμπορια παραλιον κατοικουντων
[20] και τω γαδ ειπεν ευλογημενος εμπλατυνων γαδ ως λεων ανεπαυσατο συντριψας βραχιονα και αρχοντα
[21] και ειδεν απαρχην αυτου οτι εκει εμερισθη γη αρχοντων συνηγμενων αμα αρχηγοις λαων δικαιοσυνην κυριος εποιησεν και κρισιν αυτου μετα ισραηλ
[22] και τω δαν ειπεν δαν σκυμνος λεοντος και εκπηδησεται εκ του βασαν
[23] και τω νεφθαλι ειπεν νεφθαλι πλησμονη δεκτων και εμπλησθητω ευλογιαν παρα κυριου θαλασσαν και λιβα κληρονομησει
[24] και τω ασηρ ειπεν ευλογητος απο τεκνων ασηρ και εσται δεκτος τοις αδελφοις αυτου βαψει εν ελαιω τον ποδα αυτου

[27] και σκεπασις θεου αρχης και υπο ισχυν βραχιονων αεναων και εκβαλει απο προσωπου σου εχθρον λεγων απολοιο
[28] και κατασκηνωσει ισραηλ πεποιθως μονος επι γης ιακωβ επι σιτω και οινω και ο ουρανος αυτω συννεφης δροσω
[29] μακαριος συ ισραηλ τις ομοιος σοι λαος σωζομενος υπο κυριου υπερασπιει ο βοηθος σου και η μαχαιρα καυχημα σου και ψευσονται σε οι εχθροι σου και συ επι τον τραχηλον αυτων επιβηση
