33:2 | And he said <0559> (8799), The LORD <03068> came <0935> (8804) from Sinai <05514>, and rose up <02224> (8804) from Seir <08165> unto them; he shined forth <03313> (8689) from mount <02022> Paran <06290>, and he came <0857> (8804) with ten thousands <07233> of saints <06944>: from his right hand <03225> [went] a fiery <0799> (8676) <0784> law <01881> for them. {a fiery...: Heb. a fire of law} |
33:3 | Yea <0637>, he loved <02245> (8801) the people <05971>; all his saints <06918> [are] in thy hand <03027>: and they sat down <08497> (8795) at thy feet <07272>; [every one] shall receive <05375> (8799) of thy words <01703>. |
33:4 | Moses <04872> commanded <06680> (8765) us a law <08451>, [even] the inheritance <04181> of the congregation <06952> of Jacob <03290>. |
33:5 | And he was king <04428> in Jeshurun <03484>, when the heads <07218> of the people <05971> [and] the tribes <07626> of Israel <03478> were gathered <0622> (8692) together <03162>. |
33:6 | Let Reuben <07205> live <02421> (8799), and not die <04191> (8799); and let [not] his men <04962> be few <04557>. |
33:7 | And this [is the blessing] of Judah <03063>: and he said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798), LORD <03068>, the voice <06963> of Judah <03063>, and bring <0935> (8686) him unto his people <05971>: let his hands <03027> be sufficient <07227> for him; and be thou an help <05828> [to him] from his enemies <06862>. |
33:8 | And of Levi <03878> he said <0559> (8804), [Let] thy Thummim <08550> and thy Urim <0224> [be] with thy holy <02623> one <0376>, whom thou didst prove <05254> (8765) at Massah <04532>, [and with] whom thou didst strive <07378> (8799) at the waters <04325> of Meribah <04809>; |
33:9 | Who said <0559> (8802) unto his father <01> and to his mother <0517>, I have not seen <07200> (8804) him; neither did he acknowledge <05234> (8689) his brethren <0251>, nor knew <03045> (8804) his own children <01121>: for they have observed <08104> (8804) thy word <0565>, and kept <05341> (8799) thy covenant <01285>. |
33:10 | They shall teach <03384> (8686) Jacob <03290> thy judgments <04941>, and Israel <03478> thy law <08451>: they shall put <07760> (8799) incense <06988> before <0639> thee, and whole burnt sacrifice <03632> upon thine altar <04196>. {They shall teach: or, Let them teach} {they shall put: or, let them put} {before...: Heb. at thy nose} |
33:11 | Bless <01288> (8761), LORD <03068>, his substance <02428>, and accept <07521> (8799) the work <06467> of his hands <03027>: smite <04272> (8798) through the loins <04975> of them that rise <06965> (8801) against him, and of them that hate <08130> (8764) him, that they rise <06965> (0) not <04480> again <06965> (8799). |
33:12 | [And] of Benjamin <01144> he said <0559> (8804), The beloved <03039> of the LORD <03068> shall dwell <07931> (8799) in safety <0983> by him; [and the LORD] shall cover <02653> (8802) him all the day <03117> long, and he shall dwell <07931> (8804) between his shoulders <03802>. |
33:13 | And of Joseph <03130> he said <0559> (8804), Blessed <01288> (8794) of the LORD <03068> [be] his land <0776>, for the precious things <04022> of heaven <08064>, for the dew <02919>, and for the deep <08415> that coucheth beneath <07257> (8802), |
33:14 | And for the precious <04022> fruits <08393> [brought forth] by the sun <08121>, and for the precious things <04022> put forth <01645> by the moon <03391>, {put: Heb. thrust} {moon: Heb. moons} |
33:15 | And for the chief things <07218> of the ancient <06924> mountains <02042>, and for the precious things <04022> of the lasting <05769> hills <01389>, |
33:16 | And for the precious things <04022> of the earth <0776> and fulness <04393> thereof, and [for] the good will <07522> of him that dwelt <07931> (8802) in the bush <05572>: let [the blessing] come <0935> (8799) upon the head <07218> of Joseph <03130>, and upon the top of the head <06936> of him [that was] separated <05139> from his brethren <0251>. |
33:17 | His glory <01926> [is like] the firstling <01060> of his bullock <07794>, and his horns <07161> [are like] the horns <07161> of unicorns <07214>: with them he shall push <05055> (8762) the people <05971> together <03162> to the ends <0657> of the earth <0776>: and they [are] the ten thousands <07233> of Ephraim <0669>, and they [are] the thousands <0505> of Manasseh <04519>. {unicorns: Heb. an unicorn} |
33:18 | And of Zebulun <02074> he said <0559> (8804), Rejoice <08055> (8798), Zebulun <02074>, in thy going out <03318> (8800); and, Issachar <03485>, in thy tents <0168>. |
33:19 | They shall call <07121> (8799) the people <05971> unto the mountain <02022>; there they shall offer <02076> (8799) sacrifices <02077> of righteousness <06664>: for they shall suck <03243> (8799) [of] the abundance <08228> of the seas <03220>, and [of] treasures <08226> (8803) hid <02934> (8803) in the sand <02344>. |
33:20 | And of Gad <01410> he said <0559> (8804), Blessed <01288> (8803) [be] he that enlargeth <07337> (8688) Gad <01410>: he dwelleth <07931> (8804) as a lion <03833>, and teareth <02963> (8804) the arm <02220> with <0637> the crown of the head <06936>. |
33:21 | And he provided <07200> (8799) the first part <07225> for himself, because there, [in] a portion <02513> of the lawgiver <02710> (8781), [was he] seated <05603> (8803); and he came <0857> (8799) with the heads <07218> of the people <05971>, he executed <06213> (8804) the justice <06666> of the LORD <03068>, and his judgments <04941> with Israel <03478>. {seated: Heb. cieled} |

33:23 | And of Naphtali <05321> he said <0559> (8804), O Naphtali <05321>, satisfied <07649> with favour <07522>, and full <04392> with the blessing <01293> of the LORD <03068>: possess <03423> (8798) thou the west <03220> and the south <01864>. |
33:24 | And of Asher <0836> he said <0559> (8804), [Let] Asher <0836> [be] blessed <01288> (8803) with children <01121>; let him be acceptable <07521> (8803) to his brethren <0251>, and let him dip <02881> (8802) his foot <07272> in oil <08081>. |
33:25 | Thy shoes <04515> [shall be] iron <01270> and brass <05178>; and as thy days <03117>, [so shall] thy strength <01679> [be]. {Thy shoes: or, Under thy shoes} |
33:26 | [There is] none like unto the God <0410> of Jeshurun <03484>, [who] rideth <07392> (8802) upon the heaven <08064> in thy help <05828>, and in his excellency <01346> on the sky <07834>. |
33:27 | The eternal <06924> God <0430> [is thy] refuge <04585>, and underneath [are] the everlasting <05769> arms <02220>: and he shall thrust out <01644> (8762) the enemy <0341> (8802) from before <06440> thee; and shall say <0559> (8799), Destroy <08045> (8685) [them]. |
33:28 | Israel <03478> then shall dwell <07931> (8799) in safety <0983> alone <0910>: the fountain <05869> of Jacob <03290> [shall be] upon a land <0776> of corn <01715> and wine <08492>; also his heavens <08064> shall drop down <06201> (8799) dew <02919>. |
33:29 | Happy <0835> [art] thou, O Israel <03478>: who [is] like unto thee, O people <05971> saved <03467> (8737) by the LORD <03068>, the shield <04043> of thy help <05828>, and who [is] the sword <02719> of thy excellency <01346>! and thine enemies <0341> (8802) shall be found liars <03584> (8735) unto thee; and thou shalt tread <01869> (8799) upon their high places <01116>. {found...: or, subdued} |
