32.51
DEUTERONOMY
trespassed against Me in the midst of the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 52For thou shalt see the land afar off; but thou shalt not go thither into the land which I give the children of Israel.'

33And this is the blessing wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2And he said:
- The Lord came from Sinai,
- And rose from Seir unto them;
- He shined forth from mount Paran,
- And He came from the myriads holy,
- At His right hand was a fiery law unto them.
- 3Yea, He loveth the peoples,
- All His holy ones—they are in Thy hand;
- And they sit down at Thy feet,
- Receiving of Thy words.
- 4Moses commanded us a law,
- An inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
- 5And there was a king in Jeshurun,
- When the heads of the people were gathered,
- All the tribes of Israel together.
- 6Let Reuben live, and not die
- In that his men become few.
- 7And this for Judah, and he said:
- Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,
- And bring him in unto his people;
- His hands shall contend for him,
- And Thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.
- 8And of Levi he said:
- Thy Thummim and Thy Urim be with Thy holy one,
- Whom Thou didst prove at Massah,
- With whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
- 9Who said of his father, and of his mother: 'I have not seen him';
- Neither did he acknowledge his brethren,
- Nor knew he his own children;
- For they have observed Thy word,
- And keep Thy covenant.
- 10They shall teach Jacob Thine ordinances,
- And Israel Thy law;
- They shall put incense before Thee,
- And whole burnt-offering upon Thine altar.
- 11Bless, Lord, his substance,
- And accept the work of his hands;
- Smite through the loins of them that rise up against him,
- And of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
- 12Of Benjamin he said:
- The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by Him;
- He covereth him all the day,
- And He dwelleth between his shoulders.
- 13And of Joseph he said:
- Blessed of the Lord be his land;
- For the precious things of heaven, for the dew,
- And for the deep that coucheth beneath,
- 14And for the precious things of the fruits of the sun,
- And for the precious things of the yield of the moons,
- 15And for the tops of the ancient mountains,
- And for the precious things of the everlasting hills,
- 16And for the precious things of the earth and the fulness thereof,
- And the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush;
