This is the blessing, wherewith Drawn (Moses) the man of God ('Elohiym) blessed
the children of God Prevails (Israel) before his death.
2 He said: I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) came from Thorny (Sinai), and rose up from Shaggy (Seir) to them; He shined forth from Mount The Place of the Caverns (Paran). He came with ten thousands of saints: from His right hand went a fiery law for them.
3 Yes, He loved the people; all His saints are in Your hand: and they sat down at Your feet; each shall receive of Your words.
4 Drawn (Moses) commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Heel-Grabber (Jacob).
5 He was king in Upright One (Jeshurun), when the heads of the people and the tribes of God Prevails (Israel) were gathered together.
6 Let Behold a Son (Reuben) live and not die, and let not his men be few.
7 This is the blessing of Praised (Judah): and he said: Hear, I AM (LORD, Yehovah), the voice of Praised (Judah), and bring him to his people: let his hands be sufficient for him, and be a help to him from his enemies.
8 And of Joined To (Levi) he said: Let your Thummim and your Urim be with your Holy One, whom you proved at Temptation (Massah), and with whom you strove at the waters of Place of Strife (Meribah);
9 Who said to 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 your word, and kept your covenant.
10 They shall teach Heel-Grabber (Jacob) Your judgments, and God Prevails (Israel) Your law: they shall put incense before You, and whole burnt sacrifice on Your altar.
11 Bless, I AM (LORD, Yehovah), 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 Of Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) he said: The beloved of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall dwell in safety by him; and I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between His shoulders.
13 Of I AM Will Add (Joseph) he said: Blessed of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that couches beneath,
14 For the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
15 For the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
16 For the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the goodwill of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come on the head of I AM Will Add (Joseph), and on 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 Of Exalted (Zebulun) he said: Rejoice, Exalted (Zebulun), in your going out; and, Recompense (Issachar), in your tents.
19 They shall call the people to 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 Of Troop (Gad) he said: Blessed be he that enlarges Troop (Gad): he dwelleth as a lion, and tears the arm with the crown of the head.
21 He provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, he was seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and his judgments with God Prevails (Israel).
22 Of Judge (Dan) he said: Judge (Dan) is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
23 Of Wrestling (Naphtali) he said: O Wrestling (Naphtali), satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): You possess the west and the south.
24 Of Happy (Asher) he said: Let Happy (Asher) be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren and let him dip his foot in oil.
25 Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.
26 There is none like to the God ('Elohiym) of Upright One (Jeshurun), who rides on the heaven to help you, and in His excellency on the sky.
27 The eternal God ('Elohiym) is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say; Destroy them.
28 God Prevails (Israel) then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Heel-Grabber (Jacob) shall be on a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
29
Happy are you, O God Prevails (Israel): who is like you, O people saved by I AM
(the LORD, Yehovah), the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your
excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars by you; and you shall tread on
their high places.
