1 This is the blessing, with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 And he said: "The Lord went forth from Sinai, and he arose for us from Seir. He appeared from Mount Paran, and thousands of holy ones were with him. The fiery law was in his right hand.
3 He loved the people; all the holy ones are in his hand. And those who approach his feet shall receive from his doctrine.
4 Moses instructed us in the law, the inheritance of the multitude of Jacob.
5 The king shall have great righteousness, at the gathering of the princes of the people with the tribes of Israel.
6 Let Ruben live, and not die, and may he be small in number."
7 This is the blessing of Judah. "Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and lead him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and he shall be his helper against his adversaries."
