children of Israel.
[52] Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land
which I give the children of Israel.
Deut.33
[1] And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his
death.
[2] 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 saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for
them.
[3] Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one
shall receive of thy words.
[4] Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation
of Jacob.
[5] And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were
gathered together.
[6] Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
[7] And this is the blessing
of 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 an help to him from his enemies.
[8] And of 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;
[9] Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither
did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept
thy covenant.
[10] They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before
thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
[11] Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of
his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise
not again.
[12] And of 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.
[13] And 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,
[14] And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious
things put forth by the moon,
[15] And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious
things of the lasting hills,
[16] And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the
good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top
of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
[17] His glory is like the firstling 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: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
[18]
And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
[19] They shall
call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck
of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
[20] And of Gad he said, Blessed be
he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
[21] And
he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and
he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with
Israel.
[22] And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
[23] And of Naphtali
he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west
and the south.
[24] And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to
his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
[25] Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so
shall thy strength be.
[26] There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in
thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
[27] The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
[28]
Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also
his heavens shall drop down dew.
[29] Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by
the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be
found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Deut.34
[1] And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is
over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
[2] And all Naphtali,
and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
[3] And the
south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
[4] And the LORD said
