2 The Lord came from Mount Sinai;he rose like the sun over Edomand shone on his people from Mount Paran.10,000 angels were with him,a flaming fire at his right-hand.
3 The Lord loves his peopleand protects those who belong to him.So we bow at his feetand obey his commands.
4 We obey the Law that Moses gave us,our nation's most treasured possession.

6 Moses said about the tribe of Reuben:“May Reuben never die out,Although their people are few.”
