Deuteronomy 33:4–7

4 the law that Moses gave us,

the possession of the assembly of Jacob.

5 He was king over Jeshurun

when the leaders of the people assembled,

along with the tribes of Israel.

6 “Let Reuben live and not die,

nor his people be few.”

7 And this he said about Judah:

“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!”

4 Moses commanded us a law,

Even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

5 And he was king in Jeshurun,

When the heads of the people

And the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

6 Let Reuben live, and not die;

And let not his men be few.

7 And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said,

Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,

And bring him unto his people:

Let his hands be sufficient for him;

And be thou an help to him from his enemies.

4 Moses gave us the Lord’s instruction,

the special possession of the people of Israel.

5 The Lord became king in Israel—

when the leaders of the people assembled,

when the tribes of Israel gathered as one.”

6 Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:

“Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out,

though they are few in number.”

7 Moses said this about the tribe of Judah:

“O Lord, hear the cry of Judah

and bring them together as a people.

Give them strength to defend their cause;

help them against their enemies!”

4 Moses commanded a law for us,

A heritage of the congregation of Jacob.

5 And He was King in Jeshurun,

When the leaders 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 he said of Judah:

“Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah,

And bring him to his people;

Let his hands be sufficient for him,

And may You be a help against his enemies.”

4 Moses gave us the teachings

that belong to the people of Jacob.

5 The Lord became king of Israel

when the leaders of the people gathered,

when the tribes of Israel came together.

6 “Let the people of Reuben live and not die,

but let the people be few.”

7 Moses said this about the people of Judah:

“Lord, listen to Judah’s prayer;

bring them back to their people.

They defend themselves with their hands.

Help them fight their enemies!”

4 Moses commanded 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 the blessing of Judah: and he said,

Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah,

And bring him in unto his people.

With his hands he contended for himself;

And thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.

4 Moses commanded us a law, The inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. 5 And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people And the tribes of Israel were gathered together.

6 Let Reuben live, and not die; And let his men be few. 7 And this of Judah; and he said, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, And bring him unto his people; May his hands strive for them; And be thou a help to him against his oppressors.

4 Moses gave us these teachings. 

They belong to the assembly of Jacob. 

5 The Lord was king of Jeshurun

when the leaders of the people assembled 

together with all the tribes of Israel. 

6 “May the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, 

though their people are few in number.” 

7 This is what he said about the tribe of Judah: 

“Hear the cry of Judah, O Lord, 

and bring them to their people. 

They must defend themselves. 

Help them against their enemies.” 

4 Moses gave us instruction,

a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 So He became King in Jeshurun

when the leaders of the people gathered

with the tribes of Israel.

6 Let Reuben live and not die

though his people become few.

7 He said this about Judah:

Lord, hear Judah’s cry and bring him to his people.

He fights for his cause with his own hands,

but may You be a help against his foes.

4 Moses charged us with the law

as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 There arose a king in Jeshurun

when the leaders of the people assembled,

the united tribes of Israel.

6 May Reuben live and not die out,

even though his numbers are few.”

7 And this he said of Judah,

“O Lord, give heed to Judah,

and bring him to his people;

strengthen his hands for him,

and be a help against his adversaries.”

4 A law Moses instructed for us,

as a possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 And then a king arose in Jeshurun,

at the gathering of the leaders of the people,

united were the tribes of Israel.

6 “May Reuben live, and may he not die,

and let his number not be few.”

7 And he said this of Judah,

“Hear, O Yahweh, the voice of Judah,

and bring him to his people;

his own hands strive for him,

and may you be a help against his foes.”

4 They learn the law I gave them.

It belongs to the community of the people of Jacob.

5 The Lord was king over Israel

when the leaders of the people came together.

The tribes of Israel were also there.”

6 Here’s what Moses said about Reuben.

“Let Reuben live. Don’t let him die.

But let his people be few.”

7 Here’s what Moses said about Judah.

“Lord, listen to Judah cry out.

Bring him to his people.

By his own power he stands up for himself.

Lord, help him fight against his enemies!”

4 “Moses charged us with a law,

A possession for the assembly of Jacob.

5 “And He was king in Jeshurun,

When the heads of the people were gathered,

The tribes of Israel together.

6 “May Reuben live and not die,

Nor his men be few.”

7 And this regarding Judah; so he said,

“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,

And bring him to his people.

With his hands he contended for them,

And may You be a help against his adversaries.”
