Deuteronomy 33:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

“O Lord, give heed to Judah,
    and bring him to his people;
strengthen his hands for him,^[a]
    and be a help against his adversaries.”^(A)

“Give to Levi^[b] your Thummim
    and your Urim to your loyal one,
whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you contended at the waters of Meribah,^(B)
9 who said of his father and mother,
    ‘I regard them not’;
he ignored his kin
    and did not acknowledge his children.
For they observed your word
    and kept your covenant.^(C)
