Deuteronomy 33:1-7
Tree of Life Version
Parashat V’Zot HaBrachah
The Blessing of Moses
33 This is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed Bnei-Yisrael before his death. 2 He said,
“Adonai came from Sinai
and dawned on Bnei-Yisrael from Seir.
He shone forth from Mount Paran,
and He came from the holy myriads—
blazing fire[a] for them from His right hand.
3 Indeed, a lover of peoples is He—
all His kedoshim are in His hand.
They followed in Your steps,
each receiving Your words.
4 Torah Moses commanded us—
a heritage for the community of Jacob.
5 He became king in Jeshurun
when the heads of the people gathered,
all the tribes of Israel together.
6 ‘Let Reuben live and not die,
though his people become few.’
7 Now this is for Judah. He said,
‘Hear, Adonai, the voice of Judah!
Bring him to his people.
His hands contended for him,
so You will be a help against his foes.’

New International Version
Moses Blesses the Tribes(A)
33 This is the blessing(B) that Moses the man of God(C) pronounced on the Israelites before his death. 2 He said:
“The Lord came from Sinai(D)
and dawned over them from Seir;(E)
he shone forth(F) from Mount Paran.(G)
He came with[a] myriads of holy ones(H)
from the south, from his mountain slopes.[b]
3 Surely it is you who love(I) the people;
all the holy ones are in your hand.(J)
At your feet they all bow down,(K)
and from you receive instruction,
4 the law that Moses gave us,(L)
the possession of the assembly of Jacob.(M)
5 He was king(N) over Jeshurun[c](O)
when the leaders of the people assembled,
along with the tribes of Israel.
7 And this he said about Judah:(Q)
“Hear, Lord, the cry of Judah;
bring him to his people.
With his own hands he defends his cause.
Oh, be his help against his foes!”
