(Deuteronomy 33:1-34:8) 33 Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of the [true] God blessed the sons of Israel before his death. 2 And he proceeded to say: "Jehovah-from Si′nai he came, And he flashed forth from Se′ir upon them. He beamed forth from the mountainous region of Pa′ran, And with him were holy myriads, At his right hand warriors belonging to them. 3 He was also cherishing his people; All their holy ones are in your hand. And they-they reclined at your feet; They began to receive some of your words. 4 (Moses laid as a command upon us a law, A possession of the congregation of Jacob.) 5 And he came to be king in Jesh′u·run, When the heads of the people gathered themselves, The entire number of the tribes of Israel. 6 Let Reu′ben live and not die off, And let his men [not] become few." 7 And this was Judah's [blessing], as he went on to say: "Hear, O Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And may you bring him to his people. His arms have contended for what is his; And may you prove yourself a helper from his adversaries." 8 And as to Le′vi he said: "Your Thum′mim and your U′rim belong to the man loyal to you, Whom you put to the test at Mas′sah. You began to contend with him by the waters of Mer′i·bah, 9 The man who said to his father and his mother, 'I have not seen him.' Even his brothers he did not acknowledge, And his sons he did not know. For they kept your saying, And your covenant they continued to observe. 10 Let them instruct Jacob in your judicial decisions And Israel in your law. Let them render up incense before your nostrils And a whole offering on your altar. 11 Bless, O Jehovah, his vital energy, And may you show pleasure in the activity of his hands. Wound severely in their hips those who rise up against him, And those who intensely hate him, that they may not rise up." 12 As to Benjamin he said: "Let the beloved one of Jehovah reside in security by him, While he shelters him the whole day, And he must reside between his shoulders." 13 And as to Joseph he said: "May his land be continually blessed from Jehovah With the choice things of heaven, with dew, And with the watery deep lying down below, 14 And with the choice things, the products of the sun, And with the choice things, the yield of the lunar months, 15 And with the choicest from the mountains of the east, And with the choice things of the indefinitely lasting hills, 16 And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And with the approval of the One residing in the thornbush. May they come upon the head of Joseph And upon the crown of the head of the one singled out from his brothers. 17 As the firstborn of a bull his splendor is, And his horns are the horns of a wild bull. With them he will push peoples All together to the ends of the earth, And they are the tens of thousands of E′phra·im, And they are the thousands of Ma·nas′seh." 18 And as to Zeb′u·lun he said: "Rejoice, O Zeb′u·lun, in your going out, And, Is′sa·char, in your tents. 19 Peoples to the mountain they will call. There they will sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness. For they will suck the abounding wealth of the seas And the hidden hoards of the sand." 20 And as to Gad he said: "Blessed is the one widening the borders of Gad. As a lion he must reside, And he must tear the arm, yes, the crown of the head. 21 And he will pick out the first part for himself, For there the allotment of a statute-giver is reserved. And the heads of the people will gather themselves together. The righteousness of Jehovah will he certainly execute And his judicial decisions with Israel." 22 And as to Dan he said: "Dan is a lion cub. He will leap out from Ba′shan." 23 And as to Naph′ta·li he said: "Naph′ta·li is satisfied with the approval And full of the blessing of Jehovah. Do take possession of the west and south." 24 And as to Ash′er he said: "Blessed with sons is Ash′er. Let him become one approved by his brothers, And one dipping his foot in oil. 25 Iron and copper are your gate locks, And in proportion to your days is your leisurely walk. 26 There is none like the [true] God of Jesh′u·run, Who rides upon heaven in help of you And upon cloudy skies in his eminence. 27 A hiding place is the God of ancient time, And underneath are the indefinitely lasting arms. And he will drive away from before you the enemy, And he will say, 'Annihilate [them]!' 28 And Israel will reside in security, The fountain of Jacob by itself, Upon a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens will let the dew drip down. 29 Happy you are, O Israel! Who is there like you, A people enjoying salvation in Jehovah, The shield of your help, And the One who is your eminent sword? So your enemies will cringe before you, And you-upon their high places you will tread." 34 Then Moses proceeded to go up from the desert plains of Mo′ab into Mount Ne′bo, to the top of Pis′gah, which fronts toward Jer′i·cho. And Jehovah went showing him all the land, Gil′e·ad as far as Dan, 2 and all Naph′ta·li and the land of E′phra·im and Ma·nas′seh and all the land of Judah as far as the western sea, 3 and the Neg′eb and the District, the valley plain of Jer′i·cho, the city of the palm trees, as far as Zo′ar. 4 And Jehovah went on to say to him: "This is the land about which I have sworn to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, saying, 'To your seed I shall give it.' I have caused you to see it with your own eyes, as you will not cross over there." 5 After that Moses the servant of Jehovah died there in the land of Mo′ab at the order of Jehovah. 6 And he proceeded to bury him in the valley in the land of Mo′ab in front of Beth-pe′or, and nobody has come to know his grave down to this day. 7 And Moses was a hundred and twenty years old at his death. His eye had not grown dim, and his vital strength had not fled. 8 And the sons of Israel proceeded to weep for Moses on the desert plains of Mo′ab thirty days. At length the days of weeping of the mourning period for Moses were completed.
