Deuteronomy 33:9-11
The Message
8-11 Levi:
“Let your Thummim and Urim
belong to your loyal saint;
The one you tested at Massah,
whom you fought with at the Waters of Meribah,
Who said of his father and mother,
‘I no longer recognize them.’
He turned his back on his brothers
and neglected his children,
Because he was guarding your sayings
and watching over your Covenant.
Let him teach your rules to Jacob
and your Revelation to Israel,
Let him keep the incense rising to your nostrils
and the Whole-Burnt-Offerings on your Altar.
God bless his commitment,
stamp your seal of approval on what he does;
Disable the loins of those who defy him,
make sure we’ve heard the last from those who hate him.”
Deuteronomy 33:9-11
New International Version
9 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.”
