Mosheh Blesses the Twelve
Tribes
33:1 This is the blessing that Mosheh the man of Elohim pronounced
on the sons of Yisrael before his death. 2 He said: "Yahuwah
came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone forth from
Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south, from his
mountain slopes. 3 Surely it is you
who love the people; all the holy ones are in your hand. At your feet
they all bow down, and from you receive instruction, 4 the law that
Mosheh gave us, the possession of the assembly of Ya'acov. 5 He was king over
Yeshurun when the leaders of the people assembled, along with the tribes
of Yisrael. 6 "Let Re'uven live
and not die, nor his men be few." 7 And this he said
about Yehudah: "Hear, Yahuwah, the cry of Yehudah; bring him to his
people. With his own hands he defends his cause. Oh, be his help against
his foes!" 8 About Levi he
said: "Your Thummim and Urim belong to the man you favored. You tested
him at Massah; you contended with him at the waters of Meribah. 9 He said of his
father and mother, 'I have no regard for them.' He did not recognize his
brothers or acknowledge his own children, but he watched over your word
and guarded your covenant. 10 He teaches your
precepts to Ya'acov and your law to Yisrael. He offers incense before
you and whole burnt offerings on your altar. 11 Bless all his
skills, Yahuwah, and be pleased with the work of his hands. Smite the
loins of those who rise up against him; strike his foes till they rise
no more." 12 About Benjamin he
said: "Let the beloved of Yahuwah rest secure in him, for he shields him
all day long, and the one Yahuwah loves rests between his shoulders." 13 About Yoseph he
said: "May Yahuwah bless his land with the precious dew from heaven
above and with the deep waters that lie below; 14 with the best the
sun brings forth and the finest the moon can yield; 15 with the choicest
gifts of the ancient mountains and the fruitfulness of the everlasting
hills; 16 with the best
gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwelt in
the burning bush. Let all these rest on the head of Yoseph, on the brow
of the prince among his brothers. 17 In majesty he is
like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them
he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are
the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh." 18 About Zebulun he
said: "Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and you, Issachar, in your
tents. 19 They will summon
peoples to the mountain and there offer sacrifices of righteousness;
they will feast on the abundance of the seas, on the treasures hidden in
the sand." 20 About Gad he
said: "Blessed is he who enlarges Gad's domain! Gad lives there like a
lion, tearing at arm or head. 21 He chose the best
land for himself; the leader's portion was kept for him. When the heads
of the people assembled, he carried out Yahuwah's righteous will, and
his judgments concerning Yisrael." 22 About Dan he
said: "Dan is a lion's cub, springing out of Bashan." 23 About Naphtali he
said: "Naphtali is abounding with the favor of Yahuwah and is full of
his blessing; he will inherit southward to the lake." 24 About Asher he
said: "Most blessed of sons is Asher; let him be favored by his
brothers, and let him bathe his feet in oil. 25 The bolts of your
gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days. 26 "There is no one
like the Elohim of Yeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on
the clouds in his majesty. 27 The eternal
Elohim is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will
drive out your enemy before you, saying, 'Destroy him!' 28 So Yisrael will
live in safety alone; Ya'acov's spring is secure in a land of grain and
new wine, where the heavens drop dew. 29 Blessed are you,
O Yisrael! Who is like you, a people saved by Yahuwah? He is your shield
and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you,
and you will trample down their high places." The Death
of Mosheh
34:1 Then Mosheh climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the
top of Pisgah, across from Yericho. There Yahuwah showed him the whole
land-- from Gilead to Dan, 2 all of Naphtali,
the territory of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Yehudah as far as
the western sea, 3 the Negev and the
whole region from the Valley of Yericho, the City of Palms, as far as
Zoar. 4 Then Yahuwah said
to him, "This is the land I promised on oath to Avraham, Yitzchak and
Ya'acov when I said, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have let
you see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over into it." 5 And Mosheh the
servant of Yahuwah died there in Moab, as Yahuwah had said. 6 He buried him in
Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to this day no one knows
where his grave is. 7 Mosheh was a
hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak
nor his strength gone. 8 The sons of
Yisrael grieved for Mosheh in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the
time of weeping and mourning was over. 9 Now YHUSHA son of
Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Mosheh had laid his
hands on him. So the sons of Yisrael listened to him and did what
Yahuwah had commanded Mosheh. 10 Since then, no
prophet has risen in Yisrael like Mosheh, whom Yahuwah knew face to
face, 11 who did all those
miraculous signs and wonders Yahuwah sent him to do in Mitzrayim-- to
Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. 12 For no one has
ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Mosheh
did in the sight of all Yisrael.
