Moses Blesses the Twelve Tribes
1
This is the blessing that Moses the man of God pronounced upon the Israelites… before his death.
וְזֹ֣את הַבְּרָכָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר מֹשֶׁ֛ה אִ֥ישׁ הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶת־ בֵּרַ֥ךְ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לִפְנֵ֖י מוֹתֽוֹ׃ wə·zōṯ hab·bə·rā·ḵāh ’ă·šer mō·šeh ’îš hā·’ĕ·lō·hîm ’eṯ- bê·raḵ bə·nê yiś·rā·’êl lip̄·nê mō·w·ṯōw — WLC · 1

He said: “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran and came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire at His right hand.

Surely You love the people; all the holy ones [are] in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—

the law that Moses gave us, the possession of the assembly of Jacob.

So [[[YHWH|the LORD]]] became King in Jeshurun when the leaders of the people gathered, when the tribes of Israel [came] together.

And concerning Judah he said: “O LORD, hear the cry of Judah and bring him to his people. With his own hands he defends his cause…, but may You be a help against his foes.”

Concerning Levi he said: “[Give] Your Thummim [to Levi] and Your Urim to Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah and contested at the waters of Meribah.

9
He said of his father and mother, ‘I do not consider them.’ He disregarded… his brothers and did not know his own sons, for he kept Your word and maintained Your covenant.

10
He will teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; he will set incense before You and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

11
Bless his substance, O LORD, and accept the work of his hands. Smash the loins of those who rise against him, and of his foes so they can rise [no more].”

Concerning Benjamin he said: “May the beloved of [[YHWH|the LORD]] rest secure in Him; [God] shields him all day long,… and upon His shoulders he rests.”

with the choice gifts of the land and everything in it, and with the favor of Him who dwelt in the burning bush. May these rest on the head of Joseph and crown the brow of the prince of his brothers.

His majesty [is like] a firstborn bull, and his horns are like those of a wild ox. With them he will gore… the nations, even to the ends of the earth. Such are the myriads of Ephraim, and such are the thousands of Manasseh.”

They will call the peoples to a mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they will feast on the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.”

He chose the best [land] for himself, because a ruler’s portion was reserved for him there. He came with the leaders of the people; he administered [[YHWH|the LORD]]’s justice and His ordinances for Israel.”
