Deuteronomy 33:6–8

“Let Reuben live, and not die,

but let his men be few.”

And this he said of Judah:

“Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah,

and bring him in to his people.

With your hands contend for him,

and be a help against his adversaries.”

And of Levi he said,

“Give to Levi your Thummim,

and your Urim to your godly one,

whom you tested at Massah,

with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;

“Let Reuben live and not die,

nor his people be few.”

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!”

About Levi he said:

“Your Thummim and Urim belong

to your faithful servant.

You tested him at Massah;

you contended with him at the waters of Meribah.

Let Reuben live and not die

though his people become few.

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.

He said about Levi:

Your Thummim and Urim belong to your faithful one;

you tested him at Massah

and contended with him at the Waters of Meribah.

Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:

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

though they are few in number.”

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!”

Moses said this about the tribe of Levi:

“O Lord, you have given your Thummim and Urim—the sacred lots—

to your faithful servants the Levites.

You put them to the test at Massah

and struggled with them at the waters of Meribah.

“May Reuben live, and may he not die,

and let his number not be few.”

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.”

And of Levi he said,

“Your Thummim and your Urim

are for your faithful one,

whom you tested at Massah;

you contended with him

at the waters of Meribah.

Let Reuben live, and not die;

And let not his men be few.

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.

And of Levi he said,

Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one,

Whom thou didst prove at Massah,

And with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
