Chapter 33

1

AND this is the blessing, wherewith Mosheh the man of Elohiym blessed the children of Yashar'el before his death.

2

And he said, Yahuah came from Ciynai, and rose up from Se'iyr unto them; he shined forth from Mount Pa'ran, and he came with ten thousands of qodeshiym: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

3

Yea, he loved the people; all his qodeshiym are in your hand: and they sat down at your feet; everyone shall receive of your words.

4

Mosheh commanded us a Torah, even the inheritance of the assembly of Ya`aqov.

5

And he was king in Yasharun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Yashar'el were gathered together.

6

Let Re'uven live, and not die; and let not his men be few.

7

And this is the blessing of Yahudah: and he said, Hear, Yahuah, the voice of Yahudah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be you a help to him from his enemies.

8

And of Leviy he said, Let your Tummiym and your Uriym be with your chaciyd, whom you did prove at Maccah, and with whom you did strive at the waters of Meriyvah;

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 guarded your word, and kept your covenant.

10

They shall teach Ya`aqov your judgments, and Yashar'el your Torah: they shall put incense before you, and whole ascending smoke sacrifice upon your altar.

11

Bless, Yahuah, 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 Binyamiyn he said, The beloved of Yahuah shall dwell in safety by him; and Yahuah shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

13

And of Yoceph he said, Blessed of Yahuah be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that couches 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 thorn bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Yoceph, 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 uncorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.

18

And of Zevulun he said, Rejoice, Zevulun, in your going out; and, Yisshakar, in your 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 enlarges Gad: he dwells as a lion, and tears the arm with the crown of the head.

21

And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the Torah giver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of Yahuah, and his judgments with Yashar'el.

22

And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.

23

And of Naphtaliy he said, O Naphtaliy, satisfied with favor, and full with the blessing of Yahuah: possess you 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

Your shoes shall be iron and brass; and as your days, so shall your strength be.

26

There is none like unto the El of Yasharun, who rides upon the heavens in your help, and in his excellency on the sky.

27

The eternal Elohai is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before you; and shall say, Destroy them.

28

Yashar'el then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Ya`aqov shall be upon a land of grain and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

29

Happy are you, O Yashar'el: who is like unto you, O people saved by Yahuah, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your excellency! and your enemies shall be found liars unto you; and you shall tread upon their high places.
