1 This is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave the Israelites before he died.
2 He said:The Lord came from Sinai:from Seir he shone like the dawn on us,from Paran Mountain he beamed down.Thousands of holy ones were with him;his warriors were next to him, ready.
3 Yes, those who love the nations—all his holy ones—were at your command;they followed your footsteps;they got moving when you said so.
4 Moses gave the Instruction to us—it’s the prized possession of Jacob’s assembly.
5 A king came to rule in Jeshurun,when the people’s leaders gathered together,when Israel’s tribes were one.
6 "I pray that Reuben lives, doesn’t die,though his numbers are so few."
