5 Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of violence are their swords. 6 O my soul, do not come into their council, to their assembly, my glory, do not be united, because they killed* a man in their anger and they hocked an ox in their self-will. 7 Cursed be their anger, because it was fierce and their wrath, because it was cruel. I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.

19 Gad, a troop will press upon him, but he will press upon their heel.
20 Out of the Asher his bread will be fat and he will yield royal dainties.
21 Naphtali is a female-deer let loose. He gives pleasant words.
22 Joseph is a fruitful son, a fruitful son by a fountain, his daughters run over the wall. 23 The archers embittered at him and shot at him and persecute him, 24 but his bow abode in strength. And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (From there is the shepherd, the stone of Israel), 25 even by the God of your father, who will help you and by the Almighty, who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that couches beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

1 And this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before his death.
2 And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them. 3 Yes, he loves the people. All his holy ones are in your hand and they sat down at your feet. He will receive from your words.
4 Moses commanded for us a law, an inheritance for the assembly of Jacob. 5 And he was king in Jeshurun when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.
6 Let Reuben live and not die, nor let his men be few.
7 And this is of Judah: And he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah and bring him into his people. With his hands he contended for himself and you will be a help against his adversaries.
8 And of Levi he said, Your Thummim and your Urim are with your holy man, whom you proved at Massah, with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah, 9 who said of his father and of his mother, I have not seen him, neither did he acknowledge his brothers, nor knew he his own sons, for they have observed your word and keep your covenant. 10 They will teach Jacob your ordinances and Israel your law. They will put incense before you and whole burnt offering upon your altar. 11 Bless, Jehovah, his substance and accept the work of his hands. Strike through the loins of those who rise up against him and of those who hate him, that they not rise again.
12 Of Benjamin he said, The beloved of Jehovah will dwell in safety by him. He covers him all the day long and he dwells between his shoulders.
13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of Jehovah be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew and for the deep that couches beneath, 14 and for the precious things of the fruits of the sun and for the precious things of the growth of the moons, 15 and for the chief things of the mountains of long-ago and for the precious things of the everlasting hills, 16 and for the precious things of the earth and the fullness of it and the good will of him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come upon the head of Joseph and upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers. 17 The first-offspring of his herd, majesty is his. And his horns are the horns of the wild-ox. With them he will push the peoples, all of them, even the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
18 And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and, Issachar in your tents. 19 They will call the peoples to the mountain. There they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will suck the abundance of the seas and the hidden treasures of the sand.
20 And of Gad he said, He who enlarges Gad is blessed. He dwells as a lioness and tears the arm, yes, the crown of the head. 21 And he provided the first part for himself, for there was the lawgiver's portion reserved. And he came with the heads of the people. He executed the righteousness of Jehovah and his ordinances with Israel.

26 There is none like God, O Jeshurun, who rides upon the heavens for your help and in his excellency on the skies. 27 The God of long-ago is your dwelling-place and underneath are the everlasting arms. And he thrust out the enemy from before you and said, Destroy. 28 And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone, in a land of grain and new wine. Yes, his heavens drop down dew. 29 You are fortunate, O Israel. Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help and the sword of your excellency! And your enemies will submit themselves to you and you will tread upon their high places.
2 And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones.
