1 This is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the Israelites before he died.
2 He said:The Lord came from Sinaiand dawned on his people from Seir;he shone forth from Mount Paran.With him were myriads of holy ones;at his right hand advanced the gods.
3 Indeed, lover of the peoples,all the holy ones are at your side;They follow at your heels,carry out your decisions.
4 Moses charged us with the law,as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
5 A king arose in Jeshurunwhen the chiefs of the people assembled,and the tribes of Israel united.
6 May Reuben live and not die out,but let his numbers be few.
7 Of Judah he said this:Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,and bring him to his people.His own hands defend his cause;be a help against his foes.
