* And this [is ] the blessing , with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death . * And he said , The LORD came from Sinai and rose up from Seir unto them ; he shined forth from Mount Paran , and he came with ten thousands of holiness , at his right hand the law of fire for them . * Yea , he loved the peoples ; all his saints [are ] in thy hand ; they also united at thy feet ; they received thy words . * Moses commanded us law as inheritance unto the congregation of Jacob . * And he was king in Jeshurun when the heads of the people , the tribes of Israel , were gathered together as one . * Let Reuben live and not die , and let [not ] his men be few . * And this [blessing is ] for Judah , and he said , Hear , LORD , the voice of Judah , and bring him unto his people ; let his hands be sufficient for him , and be thou a help [to him ] from his enemies . * And to Levi he said , [Let ] thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one , whom thou didst prove at Massah [and with ] whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah , * who said unto his father and to his mother , I have not seen them ; neither did he acknowledge his brethren nor know his own children ; therefore , they shall keep thy word and guard thy covenant . * They shall teach Jacob thy judgments and Israel thy law ; they shall put incense before thy nostrils and a perfect [sacrifice ] upon thine altar . * Bless , O LORD , his ministry , and take pleasure in the work of his hands ; smite through the loins of those that rise up against him and of those that hate him that they may never rise again . * And to Benjamin he said , The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him ; [and the LORD ] shall cover him all the day long , and he shall dwell between his shoulders . * And to Joseph he said , Blessed of the LORD [is ] his land , for the gifts of the heavens , for the dew , and for the deep that is stretched out beneath , * and for the gifts of the fruits of the sun and for the gifts of the influence of the moon , * and for the summit of the ancient mountains and for the gifts of the everlasting hills , * and for the gifts of the earth and fullness thereof , and may the grace of him that dwelt in the bush come upon the head of Joseph and upon the top of the head of him [that was ] separated from his brethren . * His beauty [is like ] the firstborn of his bullock , and his horns [are like ] the horns of unicorns ; with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth ; these [are ] the ten thousands of Ephraim , and these [are ] the thousands of Manasseh . * And to Zebulun he said , Rejoice , Zebulun , in thy going out ; and thou , Issachar , in thy tents . * They shall call the people unto the mountain ; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness ; therefore they shall suck the abundance of the seas and hidden treasures of the sand . * And to Gad he said , Blessed [is ] he that caused Gad to be enlarged ; he shall dwell as a lion and shall tear the arm with the crown of the head . * And he saw the best for himself because there the portion of the lawgiver was enclosed ; and he came at the head of the people ; he shall execute the righteousness of the LORD and his judgments with Israel . * And to Dan he said , Dan is a lion 's whelp ; he shall leap from Bashan . * And to Naphtali he said , Naphtali , filled with grace and full of the blessing of the LORD , shall inherit the west and the Negev . * And to Asher he said , Asher , more blessed than the sons , shall be acceptable unto his brethren and shall dip his foot in oil . * Thy locks [shall be ] iron and brass ; and as thy days , [so shall ] thy strength [be ]. * [There is ] no [other ] like unto the God of Jeshurun , [who ] rides upon the heavens for thy help , in the clouds with his excellency . * The habitation of God is eternal , and underneath the everlasting arms ; he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee and shall say , Destroy [them ]. * Then Israel , the fountain of Jacob , shall dwell in safety alone in a land of grain and wine ; also his heavens shall drop down dew . * Blessed [art ] thou , O Israel , who [is ] like unto thee , O people saved by the LORD , the shield of thy help and the sword of thy excellency ? Thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee , and thou shalt tread upon their high places .:
