1This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites before his death.
2He said:
3Surely You love the people;
4the law that Moses gave us,
5So the LORD became King in Jeshurun 33:5 Jeshurun means the upright one, a term of endearment for Israel; also in verse 26.
6Let Reuben live and not die,
7And concerning Judah he said:
8Concerning Levi he said:
9He said of his father and mother,
10He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob
11Bless his substance, O LORD,
12Concerning Benjamin he said:
13Concerning Joseph he said:
14with the bountiful harvest from the sun
15with the best of the ancient mountains
16with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it,
17His majesty is like a firstborn bull,
18Concerning Zebulun he said:
19They will call the peoples to a mountain;
20Concerning Gad he said:
21He chose the best land for himself,
22Concerning Dan he said:
23Concerning Naphtali he said:
24And concerning Asher he said:
25May the bolts of your gate be iron and bronze,
26“There is none like the God of Jeshurun,
27The eternal God is your dwelling place,
28So Israel dwells securely;
29Blessed are you, O Israel!
