СКАЧАТЬ the favor of the one who dwells on Sinai.[91]

      Let these come on the head of Joseph,

      on the brow of the prince among his brothers.

¹⁷ A firstborn[92] bull—majesty is his!

      His horns are the horns of a wild ox;

      with them he gores the peoples,

driving them to[93] the ends of the earth;

      such are the myriads of Ephraim,

      such the thousands of Manasseh.

      ¹⁸And of Zebulun he said:

      Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out;

      and Issachar, in your tents.

      ¹⁹ They call peoples to the mountain;

      there they offer the right sacrifices;

      for they suck the affluence of the seas

      and the hidden treasures of the sand.

      ²⁰And of Gad he said:

      Blessed be the enlargement of Gad!

      Gad lives like a lion;

      he tears at arm and scalp.

      ²¹ He chose the best for himself,

      for there a commander’s allotment was reserved;

      he came at the head of the people,

      he executed the justice of the LORD,

      and his ordinances for Israel.

      ²²And of Dan he said:

      Dan is a lion’s whelp

      that leaps forth from Bashan.

      ²³And of Naphtali he said:

      O Naphtali, sated with favor,

      full of the blessing of the LORD,

      possess the west and the south.

      ²⁴And of Asher he said:

      Most blessed of sons be Asher;

      may he be the favorite of his brothers,

      and may he dip his foot in oil.

      ²⁵ Your bars are iron and bronze;

      and as your days, so is your strength.

      ²⁶ There is none like God, O Jeshurun,

      who rides through the heavens to your help,

      majestic through the skies.

²⁷ He subdues the ancient gods,[94]

shatters[95] the forces of old;[96]

      he drove out the enemy before you,

      and said, “Destroy!”

      ²⁸ So Israel lives in safety,

untroubled is Jacob’s abode[97]

      in a land of grain and wine,

      where the heavens drop down dew.

      ²⁹ Happy are you, O Israel! Who is like you,

      a people saved by the LORD,

      the shield of your help,

      and the sword of your triumph!

      Your enemies shall come fawning to you,

      and you shall tread on their backs.

34 Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the LORD showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan, ²all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, ³the Negeb, and the Plain—that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees—as far as Zoar. ⁴The LORD said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.” ⁵Then Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there in the land of Moab, at the LORD’s command. ⁶He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. ⁷Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his sight was unimpaired and his vigor had not abated. ⁸The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the period of mourning for Moses was ended.

      9 Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses.

      10 Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face. ¹¹He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, ¹²and for all the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
