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.
