Deuteronomy 33:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

“Lord, listen to the leader from Judah when he calls for help.
    Bring him to his people.
Make him strong,
    and help him defeat his enemies!”

“Levi is your true follower.
    He keeps the Urim and Thummim.
At Massah you tested the people of Levi.
    At the waters of Meribah,^[a] you challenged them.
⁹ They were more loyal to you, Lord, than to their own families.
    They ignored their fathers and mothers.
They did not recognize their brothers.
    They did not pay attention to their children.
But they obeyed your commands.
    They kept your agreement.
