1 This is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave the Israelites before he died:
2 “The Lord came from Sinai, like a light shining at dawn over Seir, like a light shining from Mount Paran. He came with 10,000 holy ones. God’s mighty soldiers were by his side.
3 Yes, the Lord loves his people. All his holy people are in his hand. They sit at his feet and learn his teachings!
4 Moses gave us the law. These teachings are for Jacob’s people.
5 At that time the Israelites and their leaders met together, and the Lord became Jeshurun’s king!
6 “Let Reuben live, and not die! But let there be only a few people in his tribe!”
7 Moses said this about Judah: “Lord, listen to the leader from Judah when he calls for help. Bring him to his people. Make him strong, and help him defeat his enemies!”
