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.
10 They will teach your rules to Jacob
    and your Law to Israel.
They will burn incense before you.
    They will offer burnt offerings on your altar.

11 Lord, bless everything Levi has.
    Accept what he does.
Destroy those who attack him!
    Defeat his enemies so that they will never attack again.”

He said of his father and mother,(A)
    ‘I have no regard for them.’
He did not recognize his brothers
    or acknowledge his own children,
but he watched over your word
    and guarded your covenant.(B)
10 He teaches(C) your precepts to Jacob
    and your law to Israel.(D)
He offers incense before you(E)
    and whole burnt offerings on your altar.(F)
11 Bless all his skills, Lord,
    and be pleased with the work of his hands.(G)
Strike down those who rise against him,
    his foes till they rise no more.”
