Deuteronomy 33:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
7 And this he said of Judah:
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.
8 And of Levi he said:
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;
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.
